What he observed about their situation?
The survey conducted by their group with help of team member Shubhangi, Santosh and NNBY supporters in Bihar, he found that
- It is very difficult for a village girl in Bihar to pass a Matriculation (secondary School). This achievement is very high for rural girls from very poor family and more if she has a lower caste background.
- In Bihar Child marriages are still practiced. Having this outside atmosphere and their daughters are now 18 years old, parents feel tremendous pressure of getting them married.This is Partly because of the social pressure and partly because the parents are concerned for the safety of their young girls within the atmosphere where a lot of criminal gangs and forces are active.
- Caste based discrimination also plays a great role part in this case; lower caste young girls are most vulnerable in social structure. Parents imagine if any accident happens to there girls, it brings a bad name to the family and almost impossible life for a girl.
What are these girls doing at present?
They are all pursuing their graduation in their own chosen field that is Bachelor of Arts from the Dayanand College based at Jaripatka, Nagpur. They have appeared for their first year exams and would be admitted to second year shortly.
