Sub: The problem of poor enrollment of girls in schools
Sir
I write this letter to express my deep concern over the serious problem of poor enrollment of girls in schools in the primary and upper primary classes. In spite of the implementation of the RTE, there is little improvement in the enrollment statistics. From 1999 to 2005 there is only 3.1% improvement. And in the upper primary classes, the enrollment percentage has increased just by 4.03% . These are not very encouraging statistics.The Indian government need to take stricter action. The policies are good but there implementation is bad. The implications of the poor enrollment are many. As long as there is no hundred percent enrollment, the goal of achieving 100 % literacy will remain underachieved. The other related areas will also remain undeveloped. The vision of attaining the status of a developed nation by 2020 will remain only a vision. It will give pain to Dr. Kalam's soul. Through the medium of your esteemed daily I want to appeal to the people and the concerned authorities to take more proactive approach to ensure optimal enrollment of girls in schools.

Respected Sir
Through the columns of ypur esteemed daily, I would like to draw the attention of the concerned authority towards the problem of poor enrollment of girls in schools.
This situation at present is dismal. The number of girls enrollment as compared to the enrollment of boys is not satisfactory and gender parity in enrollment of girls has remained far fetched goal. The reasons for it maybe taboos and stereotypes associated with the girl child. A large part of population still lives in ignorance.
The government has introduced many programmes and policies, various NGOs are doing their bit to improve the condition, but the mindset of people has not changed even after 70 years of our independence. The only solution lies in bringing awareness and working at war footing to awaken the masses and change their outlook towards gender roles.
I hope my ideas will trigger some ideas or actions by the concerned officials.
Hoping for consideration
Yours sincerely
Reena
