Mukhyamantri Kanya Utthan Yojana is another brilliant opportunity for girls in Bihar to pursue their careers and re-kindle their dreams. Education is the next basic necessity in the current scenario. It makes us capable of acquiring new skills and communicating with others in a civilized manner. Education is the fundamental right for all, regardless of color, age, gender, class, etc. Unfortunately, discrimination like this prevails in many parts of our country. Therefore, it is necessary to make people understand that women deserve to be educated, and it is their fundamental right, just like any other male member.
Education is deemed as one of the most critical weapons that trigger the empowerment of women. An educated woman possesses all the skills, information, and self-confidence to be a better and successful person, parent, worker, and citizen. The well-educated women might grab the chance of a healthier and happier life and should be reason enough for promoting girls’ education. However, the same is also beneficial for society as a whole. Education is not a thing to be imparted in a biased manner; it is vital for overall mental growth and stability.
A famous anonymous African proverb- states the importance of education for women in society by saying-‘If you educate a man, you educate an individual, If you educate a woman, you educate a nation,’ to remind the prevailing customs in the community. Education is a weapon that effectively carves a progressive path for women and society as a whole. Bihar Government has contributed to a noble task by initiating the effective scheme of “Mukhyamantri Kanya Utthan Yojana,” which means contributing towards the growth & development of girls/women of the state.
