Education is a powerful driver of change. It has sowed the seeds of women empowerment worldwide, and India is no exception. Educating girls in India is now considered a necessity for their personal and professional growth.

It’s still not easy for many girls in India to get good-quality education. There are various barriers to girls’ education in Indian society, such as poverty, child labor, lack of nutrition, and early marriages. These practices and the complex and hidden power dynamics actively inhibit the movement and freedom of Indian women. This often makes education inaccessible to Indian girls.

Education equips young people with the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to succeed in their careers and life. For young girls, this change is much more radical. This post will explore how Indian girls have found education to be an empowerment tool to change their lives.

1. Recognizing Their Rights

Many influential South Asian activists, like Malala Yousufzai, have stated how education for girls is important most of all because it’s their basic human right.

Acknowledgment of one’s rights is, after all, the first step in fighting for them. Girls can actively learn about their rights and available opportunities through proper education.

2. Confronting Their Traditional Roles

Girls in India still face numerous challenges trying to escape their traditional gender roles. Orphan girls have even more restrictions as men are usually considered to be the caretaker of women in Indian society.

Education can readily provide a platform for girls to gain the knowledge, skills, and resources to attain independence. This empowers them to control their lives and shake up the traditional ways of living.

Therefore, educating girls in India has the power to stop a number of repetitive problems, such as child marriages and women’s safe access to public spaces.

3. Improving Familial and National Economy

Women constitute 48% of the Indian population. They can help the economy in radical ways if given the opportunity. In today’s high-tech and labor-relaxed society, women have a lot to contribute.

This can positively shift both the economics of their own family as well as the nation.

4. Educating Future Generations

In the traditional Indian family, women have the most influential role in raising children in their homes. An educated woman can readily carry on that ethic and help spread it in her family.

This ensures continued educational opportunities for all future generations, especially for families stuck in a cycle of poverty and illiteracy.
