SUBJECT:- Empowering the girl child is the best way to empower the nation.
RESPECTED SIR,
May I have the honour to draw the attention of the authorities and the people through the esteemed column of your newspaper about the topic, "Empowering the girl child is the best way to empower the nation".
It is said that "if we educate a man, we educate a man only, but if we educate a women, we educate the whole family". Education plays a major role in the social and economic growth of a nation. A nation can be educated in the real sense of the term, when its entire population is educated. Mostly people think that men's contribution in society is more than women.
But now women are sharing equal responsibility in every field of society. So,female education is important for all round progress of a country. If we want to make democracy successful, woman must be educated. They are the real builders of happy homes.
women education is very important because women are the first teacher of their children. The children receive the very first lessons in their lap. Hence, if mothers are educated, they can perfectly shape and mould their sons and daughters.
Education enhances the intellectual, social and emotional development of women and enables them to meet their basic needs of daily life. It helps in reducing inequalities in the society. An educated mother will have high expectations for her children's educational success and will continuously encourage them to develop high expectations of their own. An educated mother is more likely to have health knowledge ensuring her children receive the proper vaccines for their health and provide healthy meals that are nutritionally beneficial.
Apart from this educated women help to reduce the population of a nation. They also help to reduce child and maternal mortality. They are less likely to be taken advantage of and lowers exposure to domestic abuse. An educated woman has great confidence and enables to take right decisions. All this contributes in a positive way to the society and nation at large.
However, still now the female education is not given much importance in many parts of India. Some of the reasons are dowry, child marriage, caste system and purdah system prevalent in the society. Many people in the rural areas believe that a girl is a 'paraya dhan' and money would be needed during her marriage to be given as dowry. Thus, investing the money for her education is regarded as waste.
Through this letter, I want people to know that the girl is not just born to do household work. We can't compare a men to a women. Raising a girl make a country graduate.
Yours truly
