Nakoshi - Unwanted girl renaming
This is very creative and landmark project of Dr Sudha Kankaria We have notice first in 2007 in Satara Dist. Of Maharashtra that the “Nakoshi” names are given the girls- That means “Unwanted”. The most probable reasons for that are becoming called “Nakusa/Nakoshi” is that they were the second, third or fourth girl child in that family and the parents wanted a boy. They give the name “Nakoshi”

This Nakusa-Unwanted girl fills very bad, very
depress, they had poor self-esteems, they think that my mom, dad, everybody in
relation, even society called me unwanted then Why should alive? There is no
hope in my life, slowly she grownup and get married, become pregnant in future
that time this vicious cycle repeats again and again. To break this cycle. We
started promoting the renaming of unwanted girls. 283 from Satara and 538 from
other district from Maharashtra state renaming was very much successful. Even one
lady Mayer of village (Sarpanch) named “Nakusa” was renaming as “Jayashree” in
pune district. Only renaming is not enough but the education and financial and
social security is also equally important. This project appreciated by Germany
and California (USA). They have display the clips of this video in German
Television in the show of Galileo Big Picture
