Odisha Cracks Down On Sex Determination

The Odisha government has taken a significant step towards preventing female foeticide by sealing 6 clinics that were allegedly involved in illegal sex determination. This move is part of a larger effort to promote gender equality and prevent the decline of the female sex ratio in the state. The government has also announced a reward scheme to encourage people to come forward and report such illegal activities. The scheme aims to incentivize whistleblowers and help the authorities crack down on clinics and medical professionals who engage in unethical practices.
