Save the Girl

AIESEC Baroda

with

Baroda(Vadodara) has a rich historical background. It is situated on the banks of the river

Vishwamitri. The city was once called Chandravati, after its ruler king Chandan, then Viravati, the

abode of the brave, and then Vadpatra because of its abundance of Banyan trees on the banks

of the Vishwamitri. From Vadodara the Britishers named it as Baroda. Baroda is on the major rail

and road arteries joining Mumbai with Delhi and Mumbai with Ahmedabad. Because of this

Baroda is known as a “Gateway to the Golden Corridor”. National highway no.8 passes through

the city. It also has an airport which is very well connected with the other major airports of India.

Public transport vehicles within the city include rickshaws(tuk-tuk), taxis and buses. Of course,

people make use of their own vehicles- cars, scooters, bikes and bicycles.

ABOUT BARODA

Vadodara is also known as ‘Sanskari Nagari’, i.e. Cultured City. Vadodara is one of India’s most

cosmopolitan cities. Thanks to the vision and broadmindedness of the Gaekwads, the

subsequent industrialization, the proliferation of academic activities and a strategically

important geographical location, Baroda has welcomed a wide variety of people from all over

India and also from all over the world. In all of this, the sprawling and cosmopolitan MS

University campus and the large number of local, national and foreign industries act as a

catalyzing and unifying force.

The great museums on the palace grounds such as the Maharaja Fateh Singh Museum and art

gallery are unique and carry artifacts from around the nation and the world. There are Gujarati

film studios in the city as well as a large number of large old-style movie theatres in addition to

the newer multiplexes that have sprung up in the past few years.

THE I S SUE : F EMALE I N FANT I C I DE& FOE T I C I D E

Female foeticide and abortion of a female child are crimes that begin at and affect the very roots

of a culture. Girls are the equal half of our society,yet not treated so. Often in India, a female child

is killed before it is born. 'Doodh Peeti' is a cruel tradition to drown a newborn girl child in milk,

simply for being a girl. These inequalities against gender arise mainly due to superstitions and

the lack of awareness. AIESEC Baroda and BIMS have come together to work on this sensitive

issue to try and eradicate the negative attitude against girls by working on the grassroot level

and by changing the mindset of the people.
