National Girl Child Day is observed annually on January 24 in India to raise awareness about the issues faced by girls and to promote their rights and welfare. Initiated in 2008 by the Ministry of Women and Child Development, this day emphasizes the importance of gender equality, the education of girls, and the eradication of harmful practices such as child marriage. It also coincides with the day Indira Gandhi assumed office, symbolizing progress in women's empowerment and the ongoing fight for gender equality in India.
