Which government program in Odisha specifically focuses on improving girls’ education?

Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya
Odisha Adarsh Vidyalaya
Prerana
Shiksha Vikas Yojana

The correct answer is: a) Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya.

Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (KGBV) is a government program in India that focuses on improving girls’ education. The program was launched in 2004 by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) with the aim of providing quality education to girls from disadvantaged backgrounds.

KGBV schools are residential schools that provide free education, boarding, and lodging to girls from classes VI to XII. The schools also provide vocational training to girls so that they can become self-sufficient after completing their education.

The KGBV program has been successful in increasing the enrollment of girls in schools and improving their literacy rates. The program has also helped to reduce the gender gap in education.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • Odisha Adarsh Vidyalaya is a government program that focuses on improving the quality of education in Odisha.
  • Prerana is a government program that focuses on providing education and vocational training to girls from disadvantaged backgrounds.
  • Shiksha Vikas Yojana is a government program that focuses on improving the infrastructure of schools in India.
