This is the message to the people of Jayapur village adopted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The Protect and Educate the Girl Child (BBPP) program was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 22nd January 2015 at Aryanama National Park, Panipat.
And this scheme has been brought to solve the problems related to the development of women and children which are continuously happening in life. This project is being taken up with the collaboration of three ministries namely Department of Women and Child Development, Health and Family Welfare and Central Human Resource Development.
