Education A Girl Child Means Educating A Nation

MEERUT, India - Dec. 5, 2022 - PRLog -- Hailing from a rural background, I have closely seen the difficulties and hurdles that people have to face in rural areas. One of the most disturbing factors is a lack of awareness of girl education. We established Shri Venkateshwara University in the heart of Gajraula, a rural area of Uttar Pradesh.

The vision behind this was to impart education to all the classes and to spread awareness towards educating the girl child. I firmly believe that a girl's education shouldn't be considered a burden. She is a child who deserves a strong and educated future. Nowadays, girls all over the world are facing gender discrimination–just for being born as a daughter.

A girl's education is valued less, and in certain cases, they force her into early marriage, faces violence, or become a victim of human trafficking. Her childhood span is reduced forcefully. Especially in the rural areas of India, feticide, child marriage, early marriage, etc. are very common practices. Due to lack of education and poverty, the girl child suffers even more.

Many factors lead to female feticide, but a major reason is the prospect of having to pay a dowry to the future groom of a daughter. People in the rural homesteads feel that spending money on a girl's education is also a waste because she will ultimately get married one day.

Sir observed and keenly studies the demographics of the area. There were no good educational institutions around the area, and most of the good colleges or institutes were at a distance from the habitats of the locals.

While, they believe sons offer security in old age and can perform the last rites for the parents, while daughters are perceived as a social and economic burden. People have misused technologies like prenatal sex detection, allowing selective abortions of unborn females.

"Education for Girls" has been an important issue and various policymakers across the globe are forming rules and laws to promote it and also to stop female feticide, especially in developing countries.

Gender inequalities in educational outcomes still exist. Almost 69% of the population of India lives in or around rural areas, meaning reformers and educationalists need to work even harder and form strong policies that would help women and girls.

A girl's education can change everything, as it is said that "educating a woman means educating an entire generation". An educated girl has more chances to grow up into a healthy and empowered individual who can determine their course of life and future.

An educated and well-read girl can decide when she's ready for marriage and children. She is aware of the biological, psychological, and economical aspects involved in marriage and childbirth.
