The Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (KGBV) scheme changed released by the Government of India in August 2004 for putting in place residential faculties at the top number one degree for women belonging predominantly to the SC, ST, OBC, and minorities in hard areas. The scheme is being carried out in educationally backward blocks (EBBs) of the united states of America wherein the female
rural literacy is underneath the country-wide common and the gender hole in literacy is above the country-wide common. The scheme offers a minimal reservation of 75% of the seats for women belonging to SC, ST, OBC, or minority groups, and precedence for the closing 25%, is accorded to women from households underneath the poverty line.
The KGBV has been merged with the SSA program as a separate thing of that
program in the course of the XIth Five Year Plan given that 1st April 2007. The goal of KGBV is to make certain get admission to and pleasant training to the women of deprived companies of society through setting up residential faculties at top number one degree.
As determined through the DEAC (Development Evaluation Advisory Committee), PEO, erstwhile Planning Commission (now NITI Aayog) alongside its area workplaces of REOs/PEOs assessed the scheme.
The gift assessment takes a look at makes use of a multi-level easy random sampling technique for a choice of 18 states, 50 districts, 50 KGBV faculties (one in every district), one hundred teachers (2 in every KGBV), and 250 beneficiary college students and 250 beneficiary parents (five in step with KGBV). The take look at reference duration is from 2004-05 to 2011-12.
Objectives
Even now, gender discrepancies exist in rural areas and among underprivileged groups. The enrolment statistics show that there are still considerable differences in enrolment between boys and girls at the elementary level, particularly at the upper primary levels. The goal of KGBV is to provide access to quality education for girls from underserved sections of society by establishing residential schools at the upper primary level.
Monitoring, evaluation, and implementation
State governments operate the scheme through the Mahila Samakhya (MS) Society in MS states and the SSA Society in the rest of the country. The funds are distributed to the State SSA societies by the SSA pattern. The MS State Resource Centers are in charge of monitoring and evaluation at the state and district levels, while the committee constituted for the National Programme for Education of Girls at the Elementary Level in the SSA society is in charge of monitoring and assessment in non-MS states. The District Institutes of Educational Training, Block Resource Centers, and Mahila Samakhya Resource Groups coordinate teacher and staff training in the residential schools.
Recommendations & Suggestions
Some of the recommendations we came up with based on our results, analysis, and talks with stakeholders are included below:
Separate and independent administration of KGBV at the national level could be investigated to look into the scheme’s execution and monitoring, as variances in implementation have been recorded in or among states, resulting in departures from the scheme’s objectives.
There must be strict adherence to standards for identifying Out of School and Dropout Girls for Enrolment in KGBVs.
