I hope you are not starting a PPF account now. Since it is for 15 years and if you start now, it will mature in 2029, by then your daughter would be 34 yrs. I am sure you must be planning for her marriage, so please do consider the maturity time of PPF.
Investing in FD is ok, but it is not going to get you high returns as these are not going to beat inflation. Today return on FD is about 8.5 to 9%, whereas inflation is almost 7-9%. You may consider debt funds instead of FD, if you are looking at somewhat 5 yrs or above.
As far as SIPs in above funds is concerned, these are way too many and also there must be good amount of duplication among their holdings. So please select the funds carefully and not just last 1-3 yrs returns / ranking. Out of these 8 funds, select just 2-3 funds.

Sir, Why so many funds? You will spend too much time maintaining these.
Your query is perfect for a financial-planner.
