For a long time, India has predominantly been a patriarchal society where men have enjoyed an upper hand over women. The reason? Thatâs because the men in the family have been accredited with the role of earning a livelihood and running the family. No wonder even education, which in our constitution is a âRightâ bestowed on every citizen, was also met with disparity. Every household felt the need to educate the men in the family so that they could earn and take the name of the family ahead. However, there wasnât much awareness about the importance of girl child education in India. Fast forward to the 21st century, things have changed drastically. In most parts of our country today, people have realized the importance of giving girls the liberty to educate themselves and stand on their own feet. In fact, educating girls has been proven to have far-reaching benefits that can positively impact individuals, communities, and the country as a whole. Today, in this blog post, letâs delve deeper into the topic and understand how education can help carve a better place for girls and women in society.
