Factual erros or printing mistake!!By: Researcher | Thursday , 4 Jun '09 14:03:22 PM Reply | Forward It is surpising to see at more than one place that the news reporter/ editor use the name of one organisation as "CRS (Central Registration System) data for Gujarat", does not probably exist in India. On search over internet it shows one such name in London that is involved with measurement of electricity. So a data said to be provided by CRS on sex ratio raise some doubt by the report. Even the same has been used by an officer at one place of the report. Some clarification need to be given to readers in this regard.

Sex Ratio at Birth Vs. Sex Ratio 0-4 years By: Mayur | Tuesday , 2 Jun '09 14:28:26 PM Reply | Forward While Sex ratio at Birth is increasing, what is shocking is the fact that child sex ratio in urban Gujarat is not improving. It was 818 in 2002 and it has slightly declined to 813 in 2007. Is it the case that since PNDT is being enforced heavily, girl child is being neglected and allowed to die early??? This is clear from death statistics as well. Proportion of female death (0-1 years) to total female death in urban Gujarat has shot up heavily from 12.2% in 2002 to 19.7% 2007.Is Urban Gujarat turning from female foeticide to female infanticide??!!!
