Kanyashree Program

Like some Indian states, West Bengal Government also started a scheme for gender empowerment. "Kanyashree Prakalpo" (empowerment of girl child) is good and beneficial program for the poor and backward women in this state. Many students leave their studies for lack of money. This minimul financial assistance will help them a lot. Leaving school means engaging in household chores, tending cattle, looking after young siblings and others and leading a life of pain and anguish. Manual labor and ultimately getting married at an early age culminating in being early  mothers, and facing life-long health hazards and familial as well as societal problems.

It seems that the program will enhance retention rate of girl children in the schools and making them economically self-reliant.  I wish a grand success of this program.
