KHALSA AID SPONSORING SIKH CHILDREN IN PUNJAB
The Institute for Development and Communication (IDC), a Chandigarh-based research organisation, has more worrisome figures. Giving a break-up of the drug abuse pattern in the three major geographical areas of Punjab, its study says that households affected by drug abuse is 61 per cent in Majha, 64 per cent in Malwa and 68 per cent in Doaba.
"It's a comment on the fragile economic affluence of Punjab. Social development isn't leading to a better life or creating opportunities for the productive involvement of youth."
- Mr. Pramod Kumar, Director, IDC
As the Indian population has grown, the country's ratio between girls to boys has declined. With a national average of 927 girls for every 1,000 boys, the ratio for children from infancy to age 6 is 798 girls to 1,000 boys in Punjab, 819 girls in Haryana and 916 in Uttar Pradesh, according to the 2001 census of India.
