MP Launches Saraswati Abhiyaan For Dropout Girls Education

MP To Launch Saraswati Abhiyaan For Dropout Girls Under Beti Bachao Beti Padhao. The Madhya Pradesh government has announced a new education initiative aimed at bringing school dropout girls back into the mainstream education system. The programme will operate under the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao scheme and focus on helping girls resume their studies through flexible learning opportunities. The campaign will be officially launched on 10 March 2026 in Bhopal and will focus on girls who discontinued education due to social, economic, or family-related challenges.

Saraswati Abhiyaan Launch Date and Implementation Plan

The Women and Child Development Department will implement the programme across the state to identify girls who left school before completing their studies. The campaign aims to provide them with a structured path to complete their education. The key details of the initiative include:

• Campaign launch date: 10 March 2026
• Implementing department: Women and Child Development Department
• Target group: Girls who dropped out before completing schooling
• Mode of education: State Open School system

Officials said the programme will conduct surveys to identify eligible girls and enrol them in appropriate open school courses so they can resume education.

Opportunity To Appear For Class 8, 10 and 12 Exams

The initiative will enable dropout girls to complete their education through the State Open School examination system, which offers flexible learning options. Under the programme, eligible girls will be able to appear for the following examinations:

• Class 8 examination
• Class 10 board examination
• Class 12 board examination

Participants will receive study materials, academic guidance, contact classes, mentoring, and counselling to help them prepare for the exams and successfully complete their schooling.

Focus On Reducing School Dropout Among Girls

Officials noted that many girls discontinue education before completing secondary or senior secondary school due to social pressures, financial difficulties, or lack of educational access. The issue is particularly significant in rural and economically weaker regions. By identifying and enrolling these girls into open school programmes, the campaign aims to reduce dropout rates and expand educational opportunities for young women across the state.

Expected Impact On Girls’ Education And Empowerment

The Saraswati Abhiyaan is expected to strengthen girl child education and promote social empowerment through improved access to learning. Authorities believe the initiative will help achieve several broader objectives, including:

• Increasing girls’ participation in secondary education
• Reducing the school dropout rate among girls
• Encouraging higher education and employment opportunities
• Supporting women’s empowerment and social development

Officials also indicated that improving access to education could contribute to addressing social issues such as child marriage and gender inequality, particularly in underserved areas.
