Introduction

The Punjab Health Department has new data. More girls are born now, but the number is still low.

Main Body

In 2025, there are 924 girls for every 1,000 boys. This is more than in 2024. But the national average is 928. Punjab is still below this number. Some areas are good. Nawanshahr and Hoshiarpur have many girls. But the Malwa area is bad. In Muktsar, the number of girls is very low. Health workers are helping. They check clinics and hospitals. They want to stop people from choosing only boys. The government has a program called 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao'. It teaches people that girls are important. It tells people to send girls to school.

Conclusion

Some cities are better. But Punjab still has a problem with the number of girls.

⚖️ The Logic of 'More' and 'Less'

In this text, we see how to compare things simply. When we talk about numbers or quality, we use specific patterns to show if something is increasing or decreasing.

1. Comparing Now to Before

  • "More girls are born now" →\rightarrow Use More + [Noun] to show an increase.
  • "This is more than in 2024" →\rightarrow Use More than to compare two different times.

2. Highs and Lows

  • Good/High: "Many girls" (A large number).
  • Bad/Low: "Very low" (A small number).

3. The 'Below' Concept

  • "Punjab is still below this number" →\rightarrow Below is used here like a ladder. If the target is 928 and Punjab is 924, Punjab is below the line.
