“On National Girl Child Day, we salute our #DeshKiBeti and the accomplishments in various fields,” Mr. Modi said in a tweet.

“Today is also a day to specially appreciate all those working towards empowering the girl child and ensuring she leads a life of dignity and opportunity,” the Prime Minister said in another tweet.
