Chitra, S2017-04-072017-04-072011https://ir.avinuty.ac.in/handle/avu/2888Educating girls is one of the most powerful tools for women‘s empowerment as it provides them with the knowledge, skills and self-confidence they need to seek out economic opportunities. Girls with education are better equipped to participate in the economy, either directly through their own work or indirectly through their support of family members. The schools should offer effective guidance and counseling to girl students. Career guidance is often neither available, nor are there facilities for counseling related to the specific needs of girls. The schools should organize counseling teams amongst the teachers as well as peer counseling teams to create awareness in girls about the prospects of education and offer possibilities of overcoming the hurdles of life. The management of schools should look beyond core curriculum to examine the co-curricular and personal development activities for girls. Girls should be encouraged to pursue equal career choices with boys. A major component that contributes significantly to the success of the girls' empowerment activities is through the mutual co-operation among women.
