The Number of Female Students in Adharshila

Further to the last update, there was a question on the number of female students who are currently there in Adharshila and how does it compare with other schools in the area. Below are the details;

Class Girls / Total

Nursery - to take new admissions

Class KG - 7/27

Class 1st - 8/31

Class 2nd - 11/25

Class 3nd - 7/16

Class 4th - 2/28

Class 5th - 6/34

Class 6th - 3/18

Class 7th - 4/24

Total : 48/203

24% of the students are girls.

While this might be a little higher than other schools operating in rural India (esp. in UP), the ratio is still very low. We are keen to start a special scholarship program / assistance program to encourage the admissions and "continuation" of the education of the girl child.
