He said the Kanya Shiksha Pravesh Utsav is being launched by the Women and Child Development Ministry in partnership with the Education Ministry. Bringing out-of-school girls back to the education system has been the target since the Right to Education Act was implemented. The officer expressed hope of “reaching a position within a short time where we will be able to put out-of-school girls into formal schooling system”.

“The focus is all boys and girls get quality education. We are making constant efforts to ensure no child, especially girls, are deprived of their right to education. We are drawing a programme for out-of-school adolescent girls which will be driven by the Anganwadi system in close partnerships with education officers at district and block levels, he said.
