Girls Education
the problem
India with 940 girls for 1,000 boys is a daughter deficient and son surplus country.
Even today, 21 million girls in India are unwanted due to parents favoring sons over daughters. Furthermore, it is estimated that there are 63 million women “missing” from India’s population because the desire for sons has given rise to sex-selective abortions, and girls suffer disproportionately from disease, neglect, or inadequate access to education and nutrition.
Out of this Haryana is the worst state with 877 girls (900 in 1966) for 1,000 boys.
Haryana strictly follows a patriarchal system where son holds the centre stage in the family. Cases of female foeticide are on the rise and the state is not taking seriously the guidelines of the Supreme Court by not submitting the quarterly report of child birth along with the gender ratio. According to the Economic Survey of India 2018, the ratio of the last child born in the family in Haryana is 2,300 boys to 1,000 girls, against 2,100 boys in Gujarat, Punjab and Rajasthan.
Despite the government women friendly schemes, the enrolment of girls in schools is much less than boys and the ratio of Scheduled Caste girls is the worst. Around 49.3 per cent girls drop out of schools before matriculation.
The crippling female illiteracy in India leads to a gender-skewed workforce, where only about 25% of the country’s workforce is female.
An educated girl child stays away from an early marriage and is empowered to stand up against exploitation. As she grows, she is able to make better choices for herself and influence the communities she lives in. This transforms her present life and ensures a secure safe future for her.
