It was launched in 2004 by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) with the objective of providing quality education to girls from disadvantaged sections of society. The scheme focuses on improving girls’ education and reducing dropout rates.
KGBVs are located in remote and backward areas of the country. They provide free education, hostel facilities, uniforms, books, and other essential items to the students. The schools also provide vocational training to the students so that they can become self-sufficient after completing their education.
