In India, women face significant challenges in achieving equality, particularly in education and economic opportunities. As of 2021, the female literacy rate was 70.3%, compared to 84.7% for males, highlighting a persistent gap. The Global Gender Gap Report 2023 ranks India 127th out of 156 countries in gender equality. Women often encounter barriers like limited educational access, early marriages, and societal expectations that prioritise domestic roles over professional aspirations, especially in rural areas where resources are limited.

Jan Shikshan Abhiyan is an initiative focused on empowering underprivileged women and girls in Uttar Pradesh. By providing accessible learning opportunities, their program aims to bridge the gender gap in education and empower women to contribute to society. This initiative aligns with India’s broader goals of promoting gender equality and economic development, striving to create an environment where women can succeed personally and professionally.

In Purvanchal, Jan Shikshan Kendra plays a vital role in enhancing educational opportunities for women and children. They offer programs to improve literacy rates and provide skill development training tailored to local economic needs. Their emphasis on girls’ education encourages families to support their daughters, breaking the cycle of stigma and inequality.
