GOVERNMENT INITIATIVES FOR EDUCATION OF GIRLS IN INDIA: AN OVERVIEW

Abstract

Education is a powerful tool for the advancement of women and the country at large. However, a number of obstacles, such as parental unemployment, child marriages, and poverty, keep them from going to school. In India, creating prosperity and attaining gender equality depend heavily on educating young girls. It is imperative that all girls, regardless of their social background or caste, have access to high-quality education. Young women who have access to school had lower rates of child marriage and higher rates of inclusion and gender parity in the workforce.Government welfare schemes for the education of girls play important roles in this regard.
