District wise sex Ratio

Haryana's most backward district, Mewat, has the highest sex ratio in the state, while the state itself ranked lowest in the country on that count.

According to Census 2011, Mewat's sex ratio, 906 females for every 1,000 males, is much above Haryana's 877:1,000. Mewat though has the lowest literacy rate at 56.14% compared to the state average of 76.64%. Census figures show districts with higher literacy rate in Haryana have poor sex ratio

Districts in the national capital area — Gurgaon, Sonipat, and Panipat — have the lowest sex ratio in the state despite being more developed. Gurgaon and Sonipat recorded the lowest sex ratio at 853 females for every 1,000 males followed by 861 females for 1,000 males in Panipat.

Mewat is followed by Fatehabad (903:1,000) and Rewari (898:1,000) in sex ratio, both above the state average. In the 0-6 age group, Mewat recorded the highest child sex ratio at 903 females for every 1,000 males and Jhajjar the lowest (774:1,000).

Gurgaon though has the highest literacy rate at 84.44% more than the state average while it's only 69.13% in Fatehabad. Gurgaon also boasts of the highest female literacy rate (77.64%) while in Mewat it's the lowest (37.58%). Fatehabad too fares poorly at 59.29%. Gurgaon is among districts with the lowest gender gap in literacy (12.63%) while Mewat recorded the highest gap at 35.40%. Maximum improvement in sex ratio in 0-6 age group was seen in Kurukshetra. It rose from 771 in 2001 to 817 in 2011.

Five districts of Haryana — Jhajjar, Mahendragarh, Rewari, Bhiwani and Faridabad — have child sex ratio in the 0-6 year age group lower than 2001, said Neerja Sekhar, Haryana's director, census operations. Twenty districts have below 880 sex ratio in the 0-6 age group.

Khazan Singh Sangwan, dean of social sciences at Rohtak's Maharshi Dayanand University, said, "Sex ratio and prosperity coupled with education and urbanization are adversely related with each other. Sex ratio is found to be better among backward classes and poor sections of the society."

Mewat has a better sex ratio though it is backward on all counts. Almost entire district is rural, he said. Singh said affluent and educated sections have more access to methods and means used in female feticide.
