The central government has started a scheme to provide education to all the country’s people. This scheme is to increase the established respect of the country. The scheme name is Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya Yojana. The central government started this scheme in 2004 to provide education to girls. The girl children of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes and people of rural areas will get benefits of the scheme.
The Central Government started this scheme separately for the first two years, in sync with Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, National Program for providing primary-level education for girls and Mahila Samakhya Yojana. But the Government of India merged the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan into a separate litigation room on 1 April 2007.
