Aamir Khan starrer "Dangal" is making records in box-office collection. On the other side this movie has motivated residents of village Kamod, in Charkhi Dadri district of Haryana, to put name plates bearing names of their daughter outside their houses. This village is just 15 km from Balali village, where wrestler sisters Geeta and Babita live with their father Mahabir Singh Phogat. Dangal has been made based on the women wrestlers Geeta and Babita Phogat.
Appreciating the move of residents of village Kamod, Mahabir SIngh Phogat, said that he would like to see other villages also do this. "I am overwhelmed to witness that people have started shunning biases of treating girls less than boys but government should come forward by providing more education and sports facilities in rural areas for promotion," said Phogat.
This village also has an impressive child sex ratio (0-6 years) of 1,300 girls against 1,000 boys.
