I have my mother in teaching sector. She told me that whenever girls scores good marks she is given scholarship. Along with her, her mother is also given monetary reward. I told her this is senseless. Aren't the fathers working to get food on the table, aren't they supporting their girls too? She replied, the fathers are drunken bastards. I had nothing to say. I was like, neither my dad drinks nor anyone in the family (from aunt to uncles) drinks. Why such prejudice ? This was personal opinion of someone. Lets get to the unnecessary reward that the government is giving. What the government is trying to say?

  1. Mothers are the reasons that their girls study. ( This is the reason they state )
  2. Mothers are only carer for their children and father have no or very little part in a child future. ( This is what it feels )

Literacy rate for men (Age 15-24) : 93%

Literacy rate for women(Age 15-24): 90%

While

for 15+ for women it is 66%

for 15+ men it is 83%

​

Reason?: Boomers, at the time they were illiterate I accept. 15-24 age shows that the upcoming generation is more educated for both genders but the policies we are having are made by the boomers who actually saw the gender disparity in their times. They must check the rate of increase rather than the static data. Please correct me if I am wrong.
