Girls Dropouts In India

Steps taken by the government like construction of separate toilets for girls in schools and a scheme related to sanitary pads have led to a sharp decline in dropout rate of girls, President Droupadi Murmu said on Tuesday.

The states were selected using a composite measure, including metrics such as incidence of COVID-19, child sex ratio, women getting married before 18 years, annual dropout ratio and women aged between 15 and 24 years using hygienic methods during the menstrual cycle.

At 19, Aadit Palicha and Kaivalya Vohra already had plans to make it big in India. The long-time friends just weren't sure how, until they jumped on the global trend of instant grocery delivery.

The scheme has helped check the dropout rate for girls. In fact, the number of girls attending school has gone up to 6.5 lakh in 2011 from 1.7 lakh in 2007.

When 11-year-old Durga Jadav awoke to find that she'd begun to menstruate, she wondered if she'd return to school.

Upset at being repeatedly spurned, a 22-year-old man, on Wednesday, allegedly stabbed a college-going girl several times in full view of other students, police said. Arun Prasanna, a college dropout from Dindigul, stabbed Rini Tapasya, a 21-year-old final-year student of a private engineering college here, six times, when she was on her way to the...
