Its extraordinarily surprising, how sometimes, human beings are capable of complicating something so much, that the end seems inaccessible We know the problems, the solutions, the path and the destination, even then we are stuck at the same turn named “useless discussions“.
By the end of this page you will have another thing in the world that reminds you about the importance of girl education. You will be another educated citizen who is deeply motivated to “be the change“. But then, here is something that will help you be the one who actually brings about the change, all you need to do is “Raise your Hand”

The solution can be manifold:
1) Most of the girls who are denied education from age 11 -15 have their parents ill-informed or misinformed about sending their girls to school. They should be made to realize the benefits of girl education that an educated girl educates an entire family while educated man primarily educates only himself. This happens in villages and districts and even tier 3 cities where misconceptions can lead to such situation.
2) If the parents are poor, then govt should provide subsidies to a girl child from age 11-15 for mid-day food, uniforms and textbooks and writing materials..
This should be a well-thought out plan and should be correctly administered at all levels. At the same time safety of girls should be assured.
3) Many a times girl is forced to drop out due to family pressures, marriage pressures and income earning pressures. These should be dealt with seriously by every
authority either in village,taluka or district or city and state level. Punishment should be meted out to those who force marriage (under age), labor (under age) and denying the girl the “right to education”.
Although there is no silver bullet to this problem, the solution here is to take all these three action points and implement them in parallel (Govt + NGO + Corporate) with all sincerity to have the percentage of girls receiving education increase substantially.
