Gupta also urged families and communities to adopt a positive attitude towards girls and encourage them to pursue their goals with confidence.
Reiterating the government's commitment, Gupta said the Delhi government remains dedicated to the safety, education and empowerment of girls.
She appealed to people from all sections of society to contribute towards creating an environment in which girls are respected, supported and encouraged to progress.
