Education is everyone’s right and it is one of the most crucial areas of empowerment for women. Educated woman contribute greatly to society’s development and they can share the responsibility of men in every walk of life. Education not only awakens people’s mind, but it also makes them self-dependent. Girl education in India is still a less preferred option in rural areas. Time has changed now and girls who are trusted by their parents and the society are doing wonders in every field. Indira Gandhi, Kiran Bedi, Lata Mangeshkar, etc are some of the great examples. Girl education is even helpful in preventing various crimes against women. Thus, it is important that girl education is promoted in rural areas and villages too so that every girl becomes independent and assertive.Advocacy on girls’ education is often witnessed by the media, NGOs, trusts, government, etc but convincing everyone of girls’ education is still really quite a task in rural and remote regions. Even though girls today are competing with men in every sphere of life, but still there are many people who are against girls’ education. They believe that girls souls be confined to home because that’s their actual area of work; they even argue that money should not be wasted on girls’ education. This conventional view is absolutely baseless because time and again girls have proved themselves equally capable to that of boys.
Girls’ education can completely change the face of the society as girls are doing better in every field now-a-days. Every girl must be given an opportunity to study and shouldn’t be discriminated on the basis of their gender. In most of the villages, even today, a girl is forced to leave school and get married at an early age because they are considered to be the liability for the family. Uneducated girls in such circumstances face several crimes, such as related to dowry, domestic violence, etc.
Education certainly has the potential to change everything as it awakens people’s mind especially that of the girls. An educated girl can grow up to be one such person who is mentally sound enough to take the right decisions for herself. She will be empowered to decide the correct age for her marriage and giving birth to a child. Education is the only solution to several social problems or evils prevalent in a society. An educated girl can help earn livelihood for herself and support her family too. She can impart education to her children, thereby contributing to a better and educated society. Education improves knowledge; thus, an education girl can even save her children, family and herself from various types of diseases. An educated girl is a boon to the community because she is capable of giving a new social makeup to the society.
