Suggest any two ways to support women in education in rural areas.

(i) Opening girls’ schools in villages can make education easily accessible to rural girls. When schools are nearby parents feel safer and more comfortable sending their daughters to study.

(ii) Providing separate facilities and a supportive environment in village schools can encourage more girls to enrol and continue their education.

(iii) Establishing skill education centres, vocational institutes and ITIs in villages can provide girls with practical and employment- oriented training.

(iv) Such vocational education helps girls develop useful skills, increases their chances of getting jobs and makes them economically independent.

(v) Conducting awareness campaigns in rural areas can spread knowledge about the importance of girls’ education and motivate families to support the education of their daughters.

(vi) Financial aid or scholarship should be provided to them to increase their enrolment in educational institutions.
