GIRL EDUCATION

Girls’ education and gender equality were the most talked about topics of early 90’s. The urban generation next of India would rather feel why have someone thought of writing about it. But I would like to point out that it is still rather a big problem of few interior villages of India. Efforts have been made by many socialists; ngo’s and even the World Bank Group. They have tried to promote girls’ education and ensure that girls do not suffer unreasonably in poor and vulnerable family due to lack of support and care. Many have worked towards enhancing the skills and creating job opportunities for young girls and women.

Gradually women are showing talent in all the fields. Indian females have set milestone in business, public services, politics, and social services and as professionals. But still in many parts of India a very big hurdle to this development is education. Girl education is still a taboo in many societies and castes. It is still believed that women are not meant to develop; they are a servant to family and must stay in the home. Many people still feel that there is no need for women to move out of the house. But now is the time when everyone must get educated and know how women equality is essential for the development of society. We must learn from the examples of successful women like Indira Nooi, Chanda Kocher, Kalpana Chawla, Kiran Bedi, Sania Mirza, Mary Kom, Sushma Swaraj, Vandana Luthra, Manushi Chillar, and my list is endless. We must analyze why our government is running so many schemes for the development of women in India on the central and state level and let Indian women bring laurels for the nation and show their unmatched talent in the society. We must support female power so that they can get education and develop stronger. We must break the taboos and see what women can do in the society.
