Explanation:

As per the latest figures from state’s pregnancy and child tracking system (PCTS) of health department, in the past 10 years, 5,02,968 more boys were born in the state in comparison to girls.

Though the yearly difference in number of births of boys and girls had decreased continuously from 2011-12 to 2019-20, it increased slightly in 2020-21, which is a cause for concern.

Since 2011-12, the difference has been reducing and it has become almost half from 73,336 to 36,888 in 2021-22, a good sign.

But, only in 2021-22, it increased slightly from 36,268 in 2019-20 to 36,888 in 2021-22, which is a concern.

The difference between the number of birth of boys and girls has been reducing sharply.

In 2020-21, at an average of 101 less girl children were taking birth daily,which was 100 in 2019-20.
