about the National Scheme Of Incentive To Girls For Secondary Education
The National Scheme of Incentives to Girls for Secondary Education promotes enrolment of girls in the age group of 14-18 years at the secondary level, who pass 8th standard and later drop out of school due to various socio-economic reasons. The proposed scheme aims to retain such girls till their 12th standard. In 2004-05, the dropout rate of girls from classes I to VIII was around 50.8%. In the same year, the dropout rate of girls from classes 1 to 10 was about 64%. This is a combined result of many socio-economic factors, but there is no doubt that the inability of parents to afford the education of the girl child is a major contributor.

- To meet the financial need for higher studies of them by providing scholarships to the poor meritorious girl
