New Delhi: #SelfieWithDaughter trended worldwide on Sunday after Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged fathers to post pictures of their daughters in his 'Mann Ki Baat' radio programme.

During his 20-minute programme, Modi touched upon the issue of declining sex ratio in the country and mentioned about the 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padao' (save daughter, educate daughter) scheme launched by the government.

In this context, he mentioned that a Sarpanch of Bibipur village in Haryana Sunil Jaglan had started "selfie with daughter" competition wherein fathers were to post their 'selfies' with their daughters.

Appreciating the initiative and pitching for a campaign to save the girl child, Modi asked all parents to send their 'selfies' with their daughters to him, out of which he will retweet the good ones.

Here are some of the pictures posted by the proud parents with their daughters:
