Sunil Jaglan—former Sarpanch of Bibipur village in Haryana’s Jind district and founder of India’s first global ‘Selfie With Daughter’ campaign—today initiated a revolution that compels technology to bow before the power of human emotion. Titled ‘AI Selfie With Daughter,’ this campaign addresses the heartache of millions of parents whose laps were never filled with the laughter of a daughter, whose eyes never met the innocent gaze of a little girl, and whose lives have, for years, echoed with the wistful wish: “If only I had a daughter…” This campaign is not merely a technological innovation; it is a confluence of a parent’s boundless love and the divine presence of a daughter.
Sunil Jaglan—himself the proud father of two daughters, Nandini and Yachika—launched the ‘Selfie With Daughter’ campaign from Bibipur village on June 9, 2015. A simple selfie taken with his daughter, Nandini Jaglan, served to spread the message of ‘Save the Daughter’ across the entire globe. This initiative evolved into a deeply moving social movement against social evils such as female feticide. Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted the campaign during his ‘Mann Ki Baat’ radio address and lauded it on international platforms on three separate occasions. President Pranab Mukherjee officially launched its accompanying mobile application. Today, the campaign has touched millions of hearts worldwide and has become a global symbol of pride in having a daughter.
Today, building upon the foundation of that very success, Sunil Jaglan presents ‘AI Selfie With Daughter.’ Imagine this: for those whose arms never cradled a daughter, and whose lives never resonated with the music of a daughter’s laughter, Artificial Intelligence will now bring a dream-daughter to life. By utilizing any AI image generator, parents can now give tangible form to the daughter of their imagination—complete with her sparkling eyes, innocent smile, the gentle touch of her tiny hands, and the sweet voice calling out “Papa” or “Mummy.” In the selfie, she will stand exactly as a real daughter would. Within a single frame, a daughter will be born in the heart. This is not merely a photograph, but a miracle of emotion.
For those who have committed the sin of female feticide, this AI selfie will serve as a moment of deep remorse and realization—asking, “Why did I take my daughter away?” In families blessed only with sons, it will awaken the beautiful sensation of a daughter’s presence. Many will be inspired to adopt a daughter. It will foster increased awareness within society regarding deep respect, love, education, health, safety, and the rights of daughters. Sunil Jaglan states, “This campaign will combat female feticide not through anger, but through the boundless love for a daughter.” Everyone can upload a selfie with their AI daughter at selfiewithdaughter.org. Parents can choose a name for their AI daughter and pen a message from the depths of their hearts—such as, “Daughter, even if you are not physically here, you live on in every heartbeat…” Share this on social media using the hashtags #AISWD, #AISelfieWithDaughter, and #AIDaughter; create emotional Reels; and share your message of love with the world.
On June 9th, the three most emotionally moving AI selfies will be awarded, and any village that successfully uploads a ‘Selfie With Daughter’ (whether real or AI-generated) from every single household across the entire *Panchayat* (village council) level will be accorded a special honor.
Sunil Jaglan appeals to every parent: “Come, let us fill this world with the light of daughters—whether they are held in our arms or cherished in our hearts. May every individual experience that pride, that love, and that sense of completeness that only a daughter can bestow. For a daughter resides not merely within the home, but deep within the heart… forever.”
This campaign places technology at the service of human emotion. It is the joy found in a father’s tears; the answer to a mother’s prayers; the invisible embrace of a daughter that reaches directly into the soul. Come, let us join hands to make this the most emotional, powerful, and beautiful campaign the world has ever seen—one where every heart is filled with the love of a daughter.
