Women or girls are paramount for society, without them, this whole universe couldn’t run. They are a crucial part of a family, a bond that keeps every member of the family together. Without a woman, we couldn’t even imagine this whole universe.

To provide finest education to your child one of the greatest options you can find are Boarding school in Mussoorie. Education is another crucial aspect of life to attain happiness, and fulfillment and achieve goals in life. Education is the reason for development/ innovations in society without education humankind will be in the same state without any development.

Let Them Grow, Let Them Fly

In a world where social causes are taking place, inflation is high and crimes are increasing women and girls need to have the support of well- educated background, so that they can independently support themselves and stand strong in any situation.

A well-educated female could give so much to society she could raise well-educated humans to contribute to society, she could help in the economic crisis, and provide financial support to her family.

Education plays important role in decisions making it helps females in analyzing their problems with the help of their acquired knowledge and decide on their own without the influence of others because a well-educated person is always difficult to manipulate.

Education will help females in understanding their society better, they will understand the importance of their and others’ roles in the society better, which will eventually help in making a better society without any conflicts of thought and encourage the social justice of equal rights, equal opportunity, and equal treatment. Education could help in making lifestyles better, it helps in getting better job opportunities which eventually lead towards a better life.

Women or girls from the rural part of our society if provided with better education facilities could understand the society better and their rights by which they could fight against the problems like early child marriage, early pregnancy, diseases, and many more problems.

According to a UNICEF report 223 million child marriages has be reported in India out of which 102 million girls are married before the age of 15 years, In last year 15000+ cases are reported only from the state of Maharashtra, which justifies that child marriage is a part of our Indian society. Mostly, poor families support the child marriage system by skipping the education of girl children. Girls are being married at an early age because it will help the family in deducting the cost of living of a family member to run their house easily and the second reason for these child marriages are the dowry system in states like Haryana where the population of girls is much lesser than the boys where girls are being purchased to marry, mostly prefer young girls in comparison to older women because the dowry is less for young girls and more for older women, the family again chooses the girls to get married in a very young age so that they don’t have to pay higher dowry rate in the later years when the girl is older. Another reason is that the family thinks of financial stability to marry young girls to the older men. The last reason is chastity, where many families think before the girl chooses her better half is better to marry the girl at an early age. According to the recent report of NFHS (National Family Health Survey) out of every 4 married women, 1 woman is married before the age of 18 years. Around 6.8% of women in India before turning 19 are pregnant, which leads to the complications like Severe Health Problems, every 1 out of 2 girls faces complications during the delivery of a child. 71.1 complications are related to premature delivery dangerous for both the mother and the baby. Due to this India is facing two major problems of maternal mortality and infant mortality. All these are health problems that women face due to child marriage but all these problems could be solved if there is literacy among those families who believe in child marriage. According to Human Rights Research Reports officially published by the Government of India has stated the three major hurdles that are family, pregnancy, and child marriage. If there will be no education there will be no jobs which means there will be no financial freedom and girls married at an early age faces the problem of domestic violence but they could not fight against that violence and tolerate it till the last breath of their life, they go through this lifetime of suffering just because there is no one to support them financially other than their husband and due to illiteracy they don’t even understand the difference between right or wrong because they are never educated about their rights and social freedom.

Providing education to women or girls’ child is crucial if we believe in social equality and justice. Without literacy the women couldn’t survive this world where they are just used as a commodity by their families, they could only fight for their rights if they are educated and understood their society. Because an educated woman could never remain silent or deprived by society in any conditions she will always fight back for her rights.

Hence, education is a right which we all have whether a boy or a girl, women or men, all the civilians of a country has equal right to get the proper education so that they can learn the knowledge to interpret ate and they can educate their future generations to improve the society.
