MatricDetailsBenefitsEligibilityExclusionsApplication ProcessDocuments RequiredFrequently Asked QuestionsThe National Scheme of
Incentive to Girls for Secondary Education promotes the girl child's enrolment of 14-18 years age group at secondary stage, who passes
class 8th and subsequently drops out for various socio-economic reasons. The proposed scheme is further intended to retain such girl
children up to class 12th. In the year 2004-05, the dropout rate of girls from classes 1st to 8th was about 50.8%. For classes 1st to 10th
the dropout rate of girls was about 64% in the same year. Hence, only 36% of the country's girl students could be retained up to class
10th. This is the combined result of several socio-economic factors, but a major contributor is no doubt the inability of the parents to
afford the cost of education of the girl child.OkWas this helpful?ShareNews and UpdatesNo new news and updates
