Aizawl, March 9 (IANS) DoNER Minister Jitendra Singh on Monday launched the central government's nationwide "Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao" (Save Girl-child, Educate Girl-child) campaign here.

The minister for development of the north eastern region (DoNER) said welfare of the northeastern citizens was high priority for the central government.

The campaign was launched in the Saiha district of the state, which was selected among 50 other districts of the states in the region.
