how sarve shiksha abiyan influenced to the girl child

A major objective of the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) has to increase the enrolment of girls in schools. Traditionally, the enrolment of girls has been low as parents in certain sections of society neglect the education of daughters. To improve enrolment of girls, the SSA has sought to implement measures like

a. Ensuring availability of schools within reasonable distance from home.
b. Free textbooks to all girls till class 8.
c. Provision of girls only schools.
d. Provision of separate toilets for girls in schools.

As a result of such measures, the enrolment of girls have improved significantly. The gender gap in enrolment (the difference between the enrolment of boys and girls) has dropped. The dropout rate for girls from schools has also declined significantly for girls.
