Girl education in India



Financial Standards under Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya Scheme

The Indian government has shown its commitment towards providing education to everyone. Despite this, India's female literacy rate is lowest in Asia in the continent. According to 2001 census ( source- India 2006, publication department, Government of India), only 53.67 percent of the women population of 49.46 crore of the country was literate. This means that about 22.91 crore women in India today are illiterate.
      The negative impact of this low level literacy is not only on the quality of women but also on the economic development of their family and country. Studies have shown that illiterate women generally have very high maternal mortality rates, low nutritional levels, low income earning capacity and very few autonomy in the family. Negative impact of illiteracy in women also falls on the health and livelihood of her children. For example, a recent survey shows that there is a deep relation between the infant death rate and the educational level of the mothers. In addition, the lack of educated population is obstructing the country's economic development.
