 [B][U]Type of Scheme [/U][/B]: National Scheme of Incentive to Girls for Secondary Education
[U][B]Home Page[/B][/U] : [URL="http://www.mhrd.gov.in"]www.mhrd.gov.in[/URL]
[B][U]The Scheme covers[/U][/B]:
** All SC/ST girls who pass class VIII and
** Girls, who pass class VIII examination from Kastrurba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas (irrespective of whether they belong to Scheduled Castes or Tribes) and enroll for class IX in State/UT Government, Government-aided or local body schools in the academic year 2008-09 onwards.
** Girls should be below 16 years of age ( as on 31st March) on joining class IX.
** Married girls, girls studying in private un-aided schools and enrolled in schools run by Central Government are excluded.
** A sum of Rs.3,000/- is deposited in the name of eligible girls as fixed deposit. The girls are entitled to withdraw the sum along with interest thereon on reaching 18 years of age and on passing 10th class examination.

[B][U]1. Introduction[/U][/B]:
** The Finance Minister in his budget announcement 2006-07 (Para-38-Credit of funds under Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas) has inter-alia stated as under
** The initial results of the Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya Scheme launched in 2004 are encouraging. 
** 1,000 new residential schools for girls from SC, ST, OBC and Minority communities will be opened in 2006-07. 
** I have provided Rs.128 crore, and I have agreed to provide an additional sum of Rs.172 crore during the year. 
** I propose to provide a further Incentive to the girl child who passes the VIII Standard Examination and enrolls in secondary school. 
** A sum of Rs.3, 000 will be deposited in her name, and she would be entitled to withdraw it on reaching 18 years of age.

[B][U]2. Background [/U][/B]:
** The above announcement has been made to promote the girl child’s enrolment of 14-18 years age group at secondary stage, who passes class VIII and subsequently drops out for various socio-economic reasons. 
** The propose d scheme is further intended to retain such girl child up to class XII. 
** In the year 2004-05, the drop out rates of girls from classes I-VIII was about 50.8%. 
** For classes I-X th e drop out 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-X. 
** 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 girl child.
