Haryana's Sex Ratio Soars to 923 in 2025, Highest in 5 Years Amid Crackdown

• Haryana's sex ratio at birth (SRB) reached 923 in 2025, a 13-point jump from 910 in 2024, marking the highest in five years.
• The improvement is attributed to a sustained crackdown on sex-selective abortions, illegal MTP kit sales, and violations of the PC-PNDT Act.
• Key measures included 114 FIRs under the MTP Act, 154 raids for PC-PNDT Act violations, 41 chemist shops sealed, and 395 MTP centers shut.
• Panchkula recorded the highest SRB at 971, with Fatehabad (961) and Panipat (951) also showing significant improvement.
• Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini highlighted the 'Beti Bachao Beti Padhao' campaign's role, noting the SRB was 871 in 2014.

Why It Matters: Haryana achieved its highest sex ratio in five years (923 in 2025) due to strong anti-foeticide measures.
