Uttar Pradesh government has started a drive to empower young women from underprivileged backgrounds.
The name of this campaign is 'Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan'.
The Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan will work under the Aarohini Initiative Training Programme for the safety and security of girls in 746 Kasturba Gandhi Residential Girls Schools in the state.
Director General of School Education Vijay Kiran Anand said the main objective of the Aarohini programme, which will be implemented in three phases, is gender sensitisation.
In the first phase, which will start on February 1, teachers will be trained.
Two teachers of every Kasturba Gandhi Residential Girls’ School will receive the training, who will then educate the students of their respective schools.
