About Us


3/47

State of Education of Girls in India

India has one of the lowest female literacy rate in the world withover 200 million illiterate women.

Only 4.5% of Indias population has access to college education

and only 1% of which are women.

Percentage of women getting higher education from rural areas

is much lower than urban areas.

Most working women employed in agricultural and informal

sectors and very few in highly skilled professions.


4/47

Barriers in Education of Girls

Socio-cultural barriers in Indian society

Patriarchial Society focuses on male heir and considers women to be

dead investment as she is supposed to be married off.

Perception - Drain on family resources due to dowry

Engagements of girl children in domestic work & farm work.

Norms of early marriage restrict girls from pursuing college education.

Pursuing post graduation studies and chalking out a successful careerremains a distant dream for many


5/47

The whole purpose of education

is to turn mirrors into windows.

Education leads to Empowerment

Education is an undisputed tool of empowerment

Education plays an important role in shaping and flourishing thecapacities of girls at an individual level.

It enables her to gain more knowledge about the world and helps to

reclaim her space in social life. It gives her a voice, a tool to get status,

self esteem and inner strength to face challenges in life.

With education, a girl gains increased level of articulation, economic

independence, knowledge and awareness about health, nutrition,

reproductive rights, law and literacy.


6/47

Coming from a difficult background, she rose to great heights in her

career due to sheer determination and hard work.

"I learnt to stand up for myself and for my rights. I

learnt how to be a fighter and not to quit even in a

male-dominated household We were not very well-off then. And although my brothers had to take up a job

to support the family, my mother impressed upon me,

never to compromise on my education.

"I want to motivate women to step into the

world with confidence and encourage them to

meet the challenges."
