Today’s girl child will be the mother of tomorrow. As a mother, she can give her child a sound and capable upbringing. A woman has the maximum impact on the social and economic decisions made in the family generally. At the micro level, educated women help the whole family, including the older family members, understand the values and importance of education, and at the macro level, educated women contribute to the social and economic development of the nation. A girl’s education is like sowing the seed that gives rise to a green, cheerful, and fully grown family plant. In ancient times, girls’ education had a significant place in society. Gargi and Maitreyi played a very encouraging role in spreading education to a great extent.

An educated girl can shoulder any kind of responsibility. See the example of Indira Gandhi, Kalpna Chawla, Kiran Bedi, Sonia Gandhi, Sushma Swaraj, Uma Bharati, and so on. Everyone has earned a name in the society of our country. Education is more important for girls because she not only builds the house but also handles all routine responsibilities. An educated woman not only helps in nourishing the family in a better way but can also help in earning.

“One could judge the degree of civilization of a country by the social and political position of its women.’’ — Charles Fourier

Education for a girl child means making the next generation well educated, full of virtues, free from useless superstitions, confident, and capable of doing something good for the family, for society, and for the country as a whole. The present-day girl is the mother of tomorrow.
