Summary
Although the Indian Constitution has given equal rights to everyone, girls in India still do not get the same rights as boys. In particular, a survey conducted in the last few days has found that girls are not given the same education as boys. A government report has mentioned this fact. The enrolment rate of girls in primary schools is 48.5 percent. However, the enrolment rate of boys at this level is around 90 percent. That is, when two boys study in primary schools, only one girl studies. The dropout rate among boys is also high, but it is higher in the case of girls than boys. Therefore, out of 100 boys who enroll in schools, 20 percent of boys reach higher education, but this rate is only 17 percent among girls. An educational survey conducted in 2010-11 has found that the gender imbalance persists even in the pre-higher education level, that is, higher secondary education. 55 percent of boys reach the 10th to 12th level, but the rate of girls reaching there is 45 percent. 65 percent of boys who earn a master’s degree pursue a doctorate, but only 38 percent of girls do so.
