Female foeticide, or killing the girl child in the mother’s womb, is a highly prevalent malpractice in Punjab ad Haryana. It prevails not only in the towns and villages, but is also dominant in major cities as well.
But to the relief of all those innocent lives, that are yet to see the world, a very noble, pious, and Godly initiative has been started by the saint Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh ji Insaan, the present Guruji of Dera Sacha Sauda, Sirsa, Haryana.
“Shahi Betiyaan Baserah”, as it is called, is a home to all those female children who have been abandoned by their parents. Guruji has established this home for these innocent children, where they are being provided best in class living and educational facilities.
This is one of the classic examples of leadership by example. Guruji teaches and preaches everyone, not to kill the girl child, and to give her equal love and status as to the male child. Considering the ever growing rate of female foeticide, this is a vital step taken ahead, and the message has been spread across that whosoever does not want girl child should not kill her, either in the womb, or after birth. Instead, handover the child in this “Shahi Betiyaan Baserah”, where it will be taken care of, and the parents will not have to become the killer of their own child.
