Rethinking gender planning and development in context of skewed sex ratio and child sex ratio in the state of Haryana

Abstract
Beyond just fair economic growth and access to educational resources, gender inequality is a problem in India. Gender inequality is present in India in the form of socially constructed, predetermined gender roles that are established throughout the sociocultural fabric and extended history of the nation. Sociocultural influences have an impact on organizational people as well as the social and political environment. This unquestionable effect is nevertheless accepted as the norm by the cultural and familial periphery. Haryana is one of the states most affected by skewed gender relations. Numerous ways exist in which the patriarchal system and the societal ethos that favors men discriminate against women. The key reasons for the declining child sex ratio in India, particularly in regions like Haryana, are the pervasive practice of sex selective abortion and sex disparities in child mortality as a result of strong son preference. The Haryana state administration and the Union government have launched initiatives to protect and empower female children in order to equalize the sex ratio. Men and women are affected differently by development policies and programmers, which can either reinforce or challenge unequal power relations in institutional contexts and socio-cultural roles and identities. Without any gender intervention, inequalities could continue in ways that restrict women's access, involvement, influence and benefits from development.
