Women's Education :From the perspective of deprived girls

Once Vivekanad  said ," If you educate a man , you educate an individual. But if you educate a woman, you educate a family".  Quotes are meant to be for a good starting because to educate a woman from roots  in real world is not a snap.  Did you ever think those girls perspective about women education who live in villages or in deprived areas?   Let's elaborate this with my own experience... Recently, I interacted with some class 10th girls through Naandi Foundation , an NGO.  I noticed many points ..first of all, their education level ..  they are in class 10th  but they are unable to write the name  of their own parents , they even did'nt know the spelling of High School .  I asked them what do they expect  from this so called studies ?

But what i observed is Shubh's mind  how he became what he heard about himself. So my purpose in saying this that we often priorities societal point of view  notwithstanding of our conscience about us. We all know there is big diffrence b/w saying and believing  and it is this diffrence that leads us to mental illness .  We all experience mental disorders at some point for some reasons, for someone it can be issues of health,studies,career,relationships and for someone it can be empty nest syndrome.  Dr Jeffrey Kellogg says -" I think mental health is pervasive .
