Data for the past five years showed that on an average, 59.77% of couples adopted a girl and 40.23% a boy. "This reflects that things are changing now. Moreover, people feel that it is easier to manage a girl child than a boy, and that's another big plus point for the girl child to be considered for adoption," Kumar said.

过去五年的数据显示，平均有59.77%的夫妇收养了一名女孩，40.23%收养了一名男孩。“这反映出现在事情在慢慢改变。另外人们觉得女孩比男孩好管，这是收养女孩的另一个重要加分点。”库马尔说。

Kumar refuted reports that more girls were adopted because many more of them were given away for adoption.

库马尔驳斥了更多女孩被收养是因为更多的女孩被遗弃的说法。

"It is not that availability of the girl child is higher but that parents are opting more for a girl child. We give them three choices - one can either opt for a girl or a boy or can give no preference...The percentage of those opting specifically for girls to boys would be 55:45," he said.

“这并非因为女孩更多，而是因为父母更愿意选择了女孩。我们会提供三种选择——女孩、男孩或无所谓……特意选择女孩和选择男孩的比例是55:45。”他说。

The data comes amid a report by NITI Aayog which said the sex ratio at birth in India had seen a decline in 17 out of the 21 large states.

该数据来自NITI Aayog的一份报告，该报告称，在印度的21个大邦中，男女出生性别比下降的邦有17个。

Our daughters will always be our daughters, even when they have raised their own families. A young boy is a young boy, but a young girl is already a caring young woman. We all love our daughters.

我们的女儿将永远是我们的女儿，即使她们组建了自己的家庭。年轻的男孩就是年轻的男孩，但年轻的女孩已经是有爱心的年轻女子。我们都爱我们的女儿。

May be because girls are not tension but equal to ten-sons. :) :) :)

也许是因为不是压力，但等同于10个儿子。

THAT''S BECAUSE GIRLS ARE DISBANDED AFTER BIRTH IN GREATER NUMBERS THAN BOYS.SO THERE ARE MORE GIRLS AVAILABLE THAN BOYS.BUT IT IS A MATTER OF PRIDE THAT THERE ARE INDIANS AND FAMILIES WHO CARE FOR THE GIRL CHILD.GOD BLESS THEM FOR THEIR SUPPORT TO THE CAUSE OF "SAVE THE GIRL CHILD" CAMPAIGN.

这是因为女孩在出生后比男孩更容易被抛弃。所以女孩比男孩多。但值得骄傲的是，印度人和家庭都关心女童。上帝保佑他们支持“拯救女孩”运动的事业。

根据我的经验，马哈拉施特拉邦的人是印度最开明的，他们对女孩一样关心。

Now indians understood to raise a boy is difficult in india ..because boys dont lisen ,gives headache ,fight and not take care of them in future...

现在印度人觉得抚养男孩很困难。因为男孩们不听话，不会在将来让他们头疼，打架斗殴，对他们不闻不问……
