Punjab moves up sex ratio, literacy ladder
Chandigarh,
April 8
The provisional census data released today has come with mixed news for
the state. While Punjab can pride itself for showing drastic improvement
in its child sex ratio since 2001, it is still amongst the worst
performers in the country on this parameter. Though the child sex ratio
is low across all districts, situation in the border areas and Malwa
region is alarming.
