Sikar (Rajasthan): Prime Minister Narendra Modi would honour the district administrations of Rajasthan's Sikar and Jhunjhunu for improving sex-ratio.
Modi will facilitate the districts during his visit on March 8 for their efforts towards 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao' campaign, an official said.
Sex-ratio was alarming in Sikar before the campaign. In 2011, there were 848 females over 1,000 males.
