Changing Demographic statistics huge have both instantaneous and distant policy ramifications for all the world's nations, especially India, which will emerge as the world’s populist country shortly. The country on one hand is expected to enjoy the benefit of the young population, while on the other side, it is likely to suffer on account of adverse sex ratio. The situation is almost identical in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. The panorama demands a careful investigation into gender statistics. Accordingly, the study based on secondary data attempts to examine the influence of literacy and illiteracy on selective sex births in rural and urban areas. The study on the basis of parametric analysis finds that literacy significantly contributes to particular sex births both in urban and rural areas and illiteracy largely favours unselective sex births. Moreover, the study observes that the literate population overwhelmingly adopts selective sex births syndrome. This seems a major reason for the aggravated sex ratio in Jammu and Kashmir.  Moreover, the study based on some advanced studies in medical science emphasises that eliminating feticide on the basis of advanced medical aid is yet not a full proof procedure to know exactly the type sex of new birth in advance. Therefore, the paper attempts to refute the belief that the sex of a  foetus not be determined precisely. The reality of the fact is that the sex of a foetus can not be determined exactly before the actual birth. Thus the study concludes that gender statistics imbroglio is a very crucial issue and it myths and realities should be exposed in the light of advanced medical science along with eliminating emerging expensive socio-economic evils of the society.
