“If a son is learned, he will benefit one family but if a daughter is skilled, she will uplift two families.” These Golden words by the Hon. C.M. Shri Narendra Modi has proven to be magical and his heartfelt appeal to initiate citizens to educate their daughters has brought about miraculous boost among people.
To build a enlightened society, the education among its women is of prime importance and this has been heartfelt yearning of Shri Modiji and he incorporated this longing into various schemes and format to increase the ratio of female education [kanya kelvani] in the state.
The Vidya Laxmi Bond, Vidya Deep Yojna, forming of Kanya Kelvani Nidhi are few of the unique systems that have been designed to promote edification among the women and bring about cultural uplift among the monetarily developed state. Shri Modiji and his Govt. strongly believes that no development can be regarded absolute unless education and progress go hand in hand.
Vidya Laxmi Bond: The major cause that kept the daughters away from receiving education, has been their unfortunate financial state. The underprivileged, who barely managed to meet the two ends and provide for their families, just about sufficient to survive. On top of that, the rituals demanded heavy expense, at the time of daughter’s marriage, to be incur by the father.
In such conditions, it was necessary to take steps that would prevent the parents to discontinue their daughter’s learning.
Under the scheme of Vidya Laxmi Bond, the villages having less than 35% education rate, the daughter would obtain a bond worth Rs. 1000, when she joins Std 1st. This daughter, would receive the amount with interest, when she would pass out from Std. 7th.
Thus, this has been a major boost to enhance and improve the number of female education.
Vidya Deep Yojna: On 26th Januaray 2001, a major calamity, that struck Gujarat and killed many many lives in the form of devastating earthquake. The innocent children were returning from flag hoisting to mark the Republic Day of motherland.
And,
These blooming buds shut their eyes forever.
To protect the life of children, the Gujarat Govt. stared an Insurance Scheme from the year, 2002-2003. Under these system, the parents of the kids, meeting death, due to accident, will receive financial aid from the state. The parents of the students of Primary Section would be aided with 50,000 Rs. and the children studying in Secondary as well as Higher Secondary studies would be receiving assistance of Rs. 1 Lakh. The aid will be granted by the agency named Veer Kinariwala and the premium of this insurance is paid by the Gujarat Govt.
Kanya Kelvani Nidhi: Shri Modiji is one C.M. for whom Educated Gujarat is the dream he cherishers. Hon. C.M. had once appealed to citizens of Gujarat that “I am a monk and have come to solicit for aid. In aid, I intend requesting to present me with a pledge that you all will educate your daughters.”
In the year, 2003-2004, to encourage Kanya Kelvani, as well as to lend a hand for higher education to girls, the Hon. C.M. initiated a special fund for the purpose. This scheme is in progress with the support of people. Plus, all the gifts that the Hon. C.M. receives are auctioned publicly and the earned income is added to the Kanya Kelvani fund. The fund is used in 30 providing aid to daughters studying in Medical and Engineering in 30 progressive districts. The girls are presented with Computers. The girls studying in Science faculty, Std 11th and 12th are provided with the financial assistance in Coaching Class.The The monetary abet is also provided to all those who have taken admission in Commercial Courses and are appearing for Civil Exams.
The daughters obtaining first three ranking in SSC/HSC at Taluka level, are also awarded and any one contributing exceptionally to promote the Kanya Kelvani in the state, are rewarded with Kanya Kelvani Gaurav Puraskar, district wise. The physically challenged daughters obtaining first three ranking are also awarded reward worth Rs. 5000.
Thus, daughters of today and tomorrow’s Gujarat are ready to conquer the world of education and walk at par with man in every field..
VANDE GUJARAT…
