The urban-rural divide is deepening. Despite widespread migration or shifts from rural to urban living, a major part of the country’s population lives in rural areas and face significant challenges related to employment, infrastructure, education and healthcare. Despite the key role played by rural women in community life, they still suffer from the constraints. Hardships, patriarchal mindsets make them suffer and they have been left behind. Due to the exclusion of economic, social and cultural development, they remain deprived of their rights in all the important walks of life. Upliftment of girls in rural communities through education is one promising solution to empower women. As rightly said by Brigham Young, “If you educate a man ; you educate an individual. You educate a woman ; you educate a generation” and Project Shiksha aims precisely at this.
