Summary
Under this micro project, middle level education will be provided to 15 school drop-out marginalized women in the #UDAAN school for one year, by which they will become educated and self-reliant. It is required for women empowerment that women must be educated, for which, we will make 15 school drop-out poor women learn to read and write in "Udaan" at village Bhanwta. Thus, these women will become self-reliant and they will participate in the examination of 8th standard.
Challenge
Women education is not considered in villages, due to which women remain uneducated and imprisoned in the boundaries of their homes. Being uneducated, they are not able to join any employment activity. Even they cannot serve as a public representative as it is mandatory to be educated at some specified level to be a participant in the election of public representative and the society.
Solution
"There is no age to be educated", following the basic mantra, Rajasthan Samgrah Kalyan Sansthan will provide middle level education to the school drop-out 15 rural women in "Udaan" school. We will make them learn to read and write in a clean and hygiene environment, and we will take them examination of 8th standard.
Long-Term Impact
Women will be educated and become self-reliant through the project. They will be able to make calculations easily in their daily routine. Being educated they will be able to serve the society, and participate the elections for public representatives. They will be able to have the same status as men have in the male-dominated society.
