National Girl Child Day is celebrated in India on January 24th every year. The day is dedicated to raising awareness about the rights of girls and addressing the challenges they face in society. It emphasizes the importance of gender equality and the need to eliminate discrimination and stereotypes against girls.

The day also serves as a reminder to promote education, health, and nutrition for girls and to ensure their overall well-being. Various events, programs, and campaigns are organized across the country to highlight the significance of empowering girls and creating an environment where they can thrive and achieve their full potential.

National Girl Child Day was initiated by the Ministry of Women and Child Development in India to bring attention to issues such as female foeticide, child marriage, and gender-based violence, and to promote the importance of girls in the socio-economic development of the country.
