The Story:
According to the HRD Ministry, the rate of enrollment of girls in tertiary education stands at just 26.4%. A major reason for this is the lack of finances in the family, as a result, boys are given priority in terms of education and underprivileged girls pursuing higher education do not get equal opportunities same as boys.
This project aims to promote the education of girls by extending financial support in the form of scholarships. The selection will be done on the basis of good academic scores. We will also provide training and guidance for them to be financially independent and emerge as future leaders.
