Bal Vivah Mukt Bharat

Two Years of Collective Action Towards a Child-Marriage-Free India

💠 Child marriage remains a persistent social challenge in India, affecting girls' health, education and future opportunities. However, its prevalence among women aged 20-24 years who got married before the age of 18 has declined from 23.3% in NFHS-5 (2019-21) to 20.1 per cent in NFHS-6 (2023-24).

💠 Launched on 27 November 2024, the Bal Vivah Mukt Bharat campaign contributes to strengthening efforts to prevent child marriage through legal safeguards, public awareness and community participation.

💠 6.85 lakh awareness programmes were conducted, 12.47 crore participants were reached and 42.01 lakh pledges were registered. As it completes two years, the campaign continues to advance the national goal of a child-marriage-free India by 2030.

👉 The BVMB Portal (https://t.co/be0WXrBibU) has been developed as the digital backbone of the campaign, providing a centralised platform for the effective implementation, monitoring and outreach of BVMB.
