Kasturaba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya Scheme

May 24th, 2007

As mentioned in the PIB press release

2180 Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas (KGBVs) have been sanctioned upto March 2007, which includes 1000 new KGBVs in 2006-07.  88% of KGBVs have been operationalised.  A major national evaluation conducted this year has shown that the scheme has received ‘high priority and political attention in all States and has been launched in record time with a clear commitment to reach out to out-of-school girls.  The programme has been very well received by the community and has responded to diverse poverty situations including remote inaccessible locations’.

More details on this program is mentioned in another PIB release. In Orissa 49 such schools are being set up.  Somehow Orissa seems to be lagging behind with respect to this scheme. Andhra Pradesh is leading in taking advantage of this scheme.
