  • Abstract:
  • - India is projected to become the second-largest economy by 2050 (PwC, The World in 2050)1, with a GDP target of $6 trillion by 20302. Achieving this requires providing all citizens with quality education and skills, especially ensuring 100% literacy among girls. However, UNICEF highlights that girls in India are significantly more likely to miss out on schooling. In a patriarchal society with cultural constraints, physical activity among girls remains critically low—only 3% among women (ICMR-INDIAB)3—jeopardizing their long-term health (Fiona Bull, WHO)4. Additionally, women occupy just 11% of leadership roles in India, compared to the global average of 27.3%5. This study emphasizes fostering the healthy development of girls by integrating Indian classical dance as a culturally resonant tool for holistic and inclusive leadership growth.
