But some states have abysmally poor Sex Ratio than other here States like Haryana (Highest per Capita in India) and Punjab are glaring examples where Sex Ratio is even below 900: 1000

Reasons

More prosperous states have good means to access facilities like child sex determination and also enough to pay bribes for abortion

More pros perous 5e4 people need 5Sons to carry forward their lineage and hence prefer sons

Advanced technology is also available in prosperous areas

while the underdeveloped areas don't have means to get access to such facilities and hence have to bear with what they have got.

the need is to promote programmes like 'Betio Bachao, Beti Padhao' so that people want to have daughters than just to bear with them
