520			_aDeclining trend in Child Sex Ratio in India as revealed in 2011 census is a serious concern. It clearly reflects the status of girl child in the society. At the National level, the Child Sex Ratio has declined from 927 in 2001 to 914 in 2011. At the state level, out of 35 states and UTs, the CSR has declined in 27 and improved in only 8 as per 2011 census data. There have been many studies to identify the causes of these declining sex ratios. Preference for son due to social and cultural factor has been identified as a major factor. Rapid development, abuse and affordability of modern technology to identify the sex in fetus and resultant sex selective abortions are the major factors. The present study tries to evaluate the geographical and historical aspect of preference for son in our society. – Reproduced https://purjss.puchd.ac.in/issues/2022/purjss-vol30-1-3-2022.pdf
