SCHOOL DROP OUT AMONG GIRL CHILDREN IN RAMAPURA
(In the age group of 07 to 15 years)

“ADHA JAHAAN” (HALF OF THE WORLD)

Women are integral part of the world, that’s why my title says Adha jahaan, but unfortunately this section of the society is not getting fair chance to contribute to the development of the society. This scenario I could witness in Rampur village. Most of girl children are not getting opportunity to go to school. They are asked to do works such as cleaning, taking care of siblings, cocking etc.
