  • The BBBP scheme was launched in 2015 with the aim to address the declining child sex ratio and promote the education and empowerment of girls.
  • In 2022, the scheme was expanded to include the skilling of girls in NTLs, such as carpentry, plumbing, and electrical work.
  • This aims to provide girls with the skills and training they need to secure jobs in male-dominated sectors and become financially independent.
