UP Girls Education: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that if women get respect, security and self-reliance, no power can stop the establishment of Ram Rajya. The real meaning of worshiping Goddess Bhagwati is that the society should be committed to the respect and safety of every woman. Before 2017, every fifth daughter in the state dropped out of school midway after enrolling in school.
There were no facilities like toilets and drinking water in schools. Today, 1.60 crore children of the state are being provided two uniforms, bags, books, sweaters and shoes and socks every year. Girls’ education and women’s self-reliance are the priority of our government.
Girls were presented with chunari and presented with chocolates.
The Chief Minister was addressing the study table and blessing letter distribution program under the ‘Flight of Education’ initiative organized on the Pratipada of Sharadiya Navratri and International Girl’s Day in Devipatan temple premises on Sunday. He applied tilak to nine girls in the form of Navadurga, draped them with chunari and gifted them chocolates. Honoring the daughters, he said that there is a tradition of worshiping women power in Indian culture. Navratri is an opportunity to strengthen this resolution. He greeted the people of the state on Navratri and called for celebrating the victory festival of Lord Ram grandly on Vijayadashami.
When the daughters who dropped out of school were investigated, the reality came to light.
The Chief Minister said that after the formation of the government in 2017, he asked the reason for a large number of daughters leaving school. Earlier the distance of schools was cited as the reason. When a team was formed for investigation, it came to light that there was no provision of toilets and drinking water in the schools.
After this, instructions were given to build separate toilets for boys and girls, provide drinking water and improve the quality of mid-day meal. At that time 60 to 70 percent of daughters went to school barefoot. Many children did not even have sweaters in winter. The government started the system of providing uniforms, sweaters, shoes-socks, bags-books and other facilities to the children.
Smart classes and digital libraries in government schools
Chief Minister Yogi said that the picture of government schools is being changed due to Operation Kayakalp. Smart classes and digital libraries are developing in schools with better flooring and furniture. Even children who never had access to computers are getting involved in modern education. He praised the study table distribution initiative of the Divisional Commissioner and the district administration in the aspirational district. Said that the dream of developed India will be realized only when the benefits of education, health, employment, agriculture and self-reliance will reach every section without discrimination.
The amount for the house will go to the owner of the house
Chief Minister Yogi said that the funds under the Prime Minister and Chief Minister Housing Scheme will go in the name of the female head of the household. The ownership rights of the house will also be his. Under Ujjwala scheme, gas connections are being given in the names of women. Women members have got ownership rights in the houses of more than one crore families. Construction of toilets in more than three crore houses is also a campaign to protect women’s dignity. At present, 1.10 crore families are being given Rs 12,000 annually under old age, destitute women and disabled people pension.
Examples of women power from Ahilyabai to Lakshmibai
The Chief Minister said that Mata Kaushalya, Janaki, Shabari, Devaki, Yashoda, Draupadi, Maitreyi and Gargi are symbols of the strength of Indian women. Lokmata Ahilyabai Holkar renovated many temples including Kashi Vishwanath, Somnath and Kedarnath. Rani Lakshmibai fought against the British at the age of 25 and was sacrificed at the age of 26. Avantibai Lodhi, Uda Devi Pasi and Jhalkari Bai also fought for the country. With the formation of the Constitution in India, women got equal voting rights as men.
