Beti Bachao Beti Padhao was launched on January 22, 2015 at which location by Prime Minister Narendra Modi?

Explanation

Beti Bachao Beti Padhao was launched on 22 January 2015 at Panipat in Haryana. Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched it, and the PIB release confirms both the date and the Panipat, Haryana location. The scheme is treated as a governance question rather than only a welfare-scheme fact because it is a tri-ministerial effort involving Women and Child Development, Health and Family Welfare, and Human Resource Development, and its first phase covered 100 districts with low child sex ratio for awareness and advocacy. That makes Panipat the precise launch venue, while the other city-state pairs are not supported by the official release.

Why the other options are wrong

• (A) Lucknow is not supported by the official PIB release, which identifies Panipat in Haryana as the launch location.
• (C) Jaipur is a Rajasthan city, but the Press Information Bureau, Government of India places the 22 January 2015 launch at Panipat in Haryana.
• (D) Bhopal is not the launch venue; the official PIB release confirms Panipat, Haryana, for the BBBP launch.

Concept

This tests flagship social-sector schemes under governance, especially launch details, implementing ministries, and target issues. RAS repeats such facts because welfare schemes link policy design with administrative implementation.
