ABSTRACT

The main purpose of this research paper is to understand the importance of girl child education in India. Girl child education is very important because education can shape a woman’s life for the better. She can make good decisions about her career, marriage and family on her own. She will recognize her rights in the society and act according to her wishes. She will be confident enough to express her thoughts in front of her family and society. An African proverb, “Teach a man and you teach a people, but teach a woman and you teach a country,” tells us about the importance of educating girls. Challenges facing girls’ education in rural India: Girls’ education in rural areas faces unique economic and social challenges. Yes, it’s a big problem. Evidence suggests that policies such as half-day meals and free pocket money are effective ways to reduce the cost of educating girls. Education plays one of the most important roles in empowering women. It also helps to prevent gender-based discrimination. Education is the first step in enabling women to choose the lifestyle they want. This generation has left behind a period when sending girls to school was not considered. Today, women are competing with men in every aspect of life. Today, people not only know the importance of good education, but also send their girls to school. It is an undeniable fact that girls’ education can lead to changes in the world community. Girls now work in many positions including writers, teachers, educators, lawyers, doctors, managers, politicians, scientists, etc.
