Have you ever wondered what’s the real reason behind the persistent “developing” state of India?
It’s the disgraceful situation of gender inequality in the education system of our country. Continuous neglect, social norms, low economic situation are some of the reasons that lakhs of girls from rural and semi-urban areas are dropped out of their schools before the completion of their basic education. Moreover, 32% of girls don’t even get enrolled in schools. Though major NGO in Delhi and other cities are trying their best to amend the situation, the local community with their conservative outlook and narrow thinking are creating hindrance in the education of their girls.
For most of the families, investing in a girl’s education is a waste of money instead they concentrate more on their marriage. The reason being a heavy dowry demanded at the time of marriage.
Though there are many villages where girls willingly drop out from schools. This is because the schools are not accessible from their houses and hence they do not feel safer in travelling long distances.
Several Child Education NGO in Delhi and other major cities are working tirelessly to make people aware of the importance of girl education.
The ‘Beti Bachao, Bati Padhao Yojana’ launched in 2015 has been a holistic scheme to reduce female foeticide and encourage girl child education.
Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana’ is another such scheme launched in 2015 to encourage parents in building future education and marriage expenses for their child.
