Abstract
The Associated Press reports that on October 2 Indian Prime Minister Inder Kumar Gujral initiated a program to give 500 rupees ($14 U.S. +/-) to very poor families after the birth of a daughter. The Prime Minister's intent is to counteract the cultural factors that he says compel some Indian families to discriminate against, and in some cases even murder, their female infants. How the government will identify families that qualify for the cash, and then distribute it, has yet to be determined.
