Improve girl child education
Provide nutritional support
Encourage school attendance
Support school infrastructure
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: (c) Encourage school attendance.
Amma Vodi is a scheme launched by the Government of Andhra Pradesh in 2016 to encourage school attendance among girls. Under the scheme, the government provides a financial incentive of Rs. 1000 per month to the parents of every girl child studying in government or government-aided schools from Class 1 to Class 12. The scheme is aimed at reducing the dropout rate among girls and ensuring that they complete their education.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option (a) is incorrect because the scheme is not specifically targeted at improving girl child education. It is aimed at encouraging school attendance among all girls, regardless of their gender.
- Option (b) is incorrect because the scheme does not provide nutritional support to girls. It provides a financial incentive to parents to encourage them to send their daughters to school.
- Option (d) is incorrect because the scheme does not support school infrastructure. It is aimed at encouraging school attendance among girls, not at improving the infrastructure of schools.
