On International Girl Child Day, the Delhi Government with the Women Council of Chamber of Trade and Industries (CTI) took an initiative to distribute baby kits to the parents of the newborn girl child.

Madan Mohan Malviya Hospital and NC Joshi hospital. These baby kits contained a baby blanket, soap, lotion, toys, towel, sweet box, socks, and diaper. On this occasion, Satyendar Jain said that people should embrace and celebrate the birth of a girl child like a festival and not foeticide them.
He said that everyone should work to make a happy, healthy and progressive environment for every girl child. He thanked CTI for this initiative of celebrating the birth of girls every year in various hospitals.
Satyendar Jain said, “We should encourage other people to not foeticide the girl child at any point in time. We should embrace and celebrate their birth like a festival. Everyone should work to make a happy, healthy and progressive environment for every girl child. He further added that killing a girl child before or after birth is considered murder and is a punishable offence and should be avoided at all costs. I thank CTI, who initiate efforts every year to welcome these newborn baby girls. It is a great initiative to celebrate these newborn baby girls in this world.”
