  • Abstract:
  • The persistent issue of gender disparity in education has long hindered India’s path toward inclusive development. The Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (BBBP) scheme, launched in 2015, aimed to address declining child sex ratios and promote the education and empowerment of the girl child. This study evaluates the outcomes of the BBBP scheme with a special focus on the state of Assam. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research analyzes trends in female literacy, school enrollment rates, and stakeholder awareness of the scheme. The study finds that while positive progress has been made in raising awareness and improving enrollment rates, challenges such as socio-cultural barriers, uneven implementation, and lack of monitoring persist. The findings underline the importance of localized policy interventions and sustained community engagement to realize the full potential of the scheme in achieving gender equity in education.
