As part of Digital India Week celebrations, Women and Child Development Ministry today adopted 'Guddi-Gudda Board', used for displaying monthly birth statistics and disseminating information on 'Beti Bachao Beti Padhao' scheme, as 'best practice' under the programme.
Developed in Jalgaon district of Maharashtra, the digital board has been popularised in the area and works as a platform for dissemination of information, education and communication material on BBBP as well as updating monthly birth statistics.
"The board is a fine example of digital innovation and best practice connected with the BBBP scheme," WCD Minister Maneka Gandhi said in an official statement.
The digital board displays audio-video material as well as still frames for disseminating information.
It is being currently displayed at important state offices, including that of the chief minister, district-level offices, zila panchayat offices, primary health centres and other public places frequently visited by the common man.
The minister expressed hope that the collectors of other districts, specially those identified under BBBP, will also use simple ways based on technology to popularise government schemes for women empowerment.
"The sharing of such best practices will inspire other districts to take similar steps in this direction," she said.
Apart from displaying disaggregated birth statistics, this board also contains other audio-video IEC material related to the scheme.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today inaugurated 'Digital India Week', which is being observed from July 1 to July 7.
