India is transforming at a rapid pace and India's demographic dividend is expected to play a significant role in enhancing this pace of development. New technologies and increasing participation of women in the various sectors of economy are contributing in a significant way to India's development.

As part of enabling participation of common citizen in new economy, my question is how NITI aayog is helping the common Indian citizenry in participating and contributing in national matters?
Last year, Supreme Court put the onus of expediting the Uniform Civil Code, enshrined in Article 44 of the Directive Principles fully on the lawmakers. It mainly deals with marriage, divorce, inheritance, adoption etc., where rights of women are violated. Is the government trying to build a consensus around the issue?
Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao Yojana- is a government of India scheme to reverse the trend of decline in the Child Sex Ratio (CSR). Many questions this approach that a lot of emphasis is symbolic (#selfiewithdaughter) and not enough reforms is taking place. Budget cuts last year and again no increased allocation of funds to the ministry of women and child development have also failed to placate the opposition and women’s rights activist so far. How do you respond to this criticism of the government?
We have seen a decline in child sex ratio (0-6 years) from 927 females per thousand males in 2001 to 919 females per thousand males in 2011. We are better educated, more aware, and economically well off than in the past. How do we reconcile these numbers with our increasing prosperity and desire to become a super power?
