Authors: Nancy Nandini

Abstract: This paper examines the current state of girl child education and welfare in India through a field-based research internship with Let’s Give Foundation. Using a mixed-methods approach—surveys, interviews, and community engagement—the study identifies key barriers such as early marriage, infrastructure gaps, low awareness, and cultural norms. It also reviews the effectiveness of government initiatives like Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, RTE Act, and Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana. Recommendations emphasize gender-sensitive facilities, parental awareness, legal protection, and improved access to health and education for girls. The paper concludes by advocating for public-NGO partnerships and integrated policy frameworks.
