emphasizes the responsibility of teachers to recognize such girls who are not able to cope with the pace of learning in the class or feel neglected and pay special attention to bring them in the mainstream to save them from dropping out. By the end of 2012-13, 41.2 million girls have been covered in 3,353 EBBs in districts, 41,779 Model School Clusters have been established. Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (KGBV) Scheme: These are residential upper primary schools for girls from marginalized communities to include them in the school system with all security measures where schools are at great distances It is launched in 27 States/UTs. Up to the year 2012-13, in 3,609 KGBVs, 500 girls were enrolled. The Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA), is established in March 2009, revised in 2013 for improved secondary education in which the Girls Hostel Scheme and National Incentive Scheme for Girls, A sum of Rs.3,000 is a fixed deposit in the name of eligible girls up to class tenth were included. Mahila Samakhya (MS) Programme: It was launched in 1988 to pursue the objectives of the National Policy on Education, 1986. It recognized the importance of education for women empowerment through capacity building among poor women to address gender and social barriers to education and for the establishment of women's rights at the family and in society. Saakshar Bharat Scheme: It was implemented in 2009 up to 31 March 2017 were 2.86 crore learners (including 2.05 crore females passed the biannual basic literacy assessment tests under basic literacy conducted by the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS), up to March 2014.

Government of India has done a lot of work of women education but still miles are left to cover. 5) Women and Gender Equality: According to Lohani (2017) “UNDP focuses on gender equality and women’s empowerment not only as human rights, but also because they are a pathway to achieving the Millennium Development Goals and sustainable development”. If a society can’t see equally to all its members, it can’t use the potential of them fully. To gain all the benefits from its population, a society must facilitate equal rights to all the genders, especially women who are being ignored from way back. This equality should be there in social, economic, political, education and in the work field to empower them. “Women’s empowerment can also be seen as an important process in reaching gender equality, which is understood to mean that the "rights, responsibilities and opportunities of individuals will not depend on whether they are born male or female" (Lohani, 2017).It should be applicable in all walks of like e.g. education, employability, social justice and so on. As India is a patriarchal society, women are not attaining equal rights in all walks of life especially in social life. “ The workforce participation rate of India’s women is significantly lower than that of the men; and amongst the women, the employment levels of urban women are lower than those of their rural counterparts. Using the findings of the 2018 Periodic Labor Force Survey (PLFS), released in 2019, this brief provides an overview of the current state of female labor force participation in urban India. It analyses data on vocational training and employment, education and employment, rural versus urban employment, and employment in social groups. The brief makes recommendations for arresting the decline in urban women’s inclusion in the workforce. It outlines the ways in which the skilling, education, and labor departments can work together to skill the labor force in the jobs that are commensurate with education levels, and also diversify the areas in which the skilled and educated candidates can work”(Ratho, 2020). Gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls is both across cutting issue as well as a goal in its own right. To account for the overlap of SDG 5 with the majority of the other SDGs, the UN Secretary-General's synthesis report suggests that each target should only be considered achieved if it is met for all relevant income and social groups, which includes women, must be followed. 6) Clean Water–Sanitation and Women: Men and women equally involve in water consumption, sanitation, and water conservation. Their awareness and education towards this issue are equally important. Although women's awareness will be more helpful in preventing extra water consumption. In this way, water can be saved. "Women's advocacy groups have drawn attention to the important role that women are playing as natural resource managers and agents of change. It is important to recognize this role and to draw on women's commitment and expertise in shaping strategies and decisions" (Warth & Koparanova, 2012). "Globally, billions of people still do not have access to safe water. Every day they need to travel far to fetch water, and most of them are women (Irianti & Prasetyoputra, 2019). So, policies related to clean water and sanitization affect more on women.
