This article examines the study-related issues in slum areas of India, with a focus on gender differences, particularly the challenges faced by girls in accessing education. Despite India's policies aimed at providing universal education, slum dwellers experience significant barriers, such as overcrowded living conditions, inadequate infrastructure, socio-cultural norms, and poverty. Girls are disproportionately affected by these barriers, facing additional challenges like safety concerns, early marriage, and domestic responsibilities. This paper analyzes the educational landscape in slum areas, highlighting gender disparities in literacy, enrollment, and dropout rates. Government initiatives such as the Right to Education Act (2009), Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, and the Mid-Day Meal Scheme have made progress, but implementation gaps remain, especially regarding gender-sensitive infrastructure and teacher training. Recommendations to address these challenges include improving school infrastructure, offering non-formal education and vocational training, providing financial incentives, engaging communities, and promoting gender-responsive pedagogy. Addressing health and nutrition issues is also emphasized, as they directly affect school attendance and performance, particularly for girls. The article concludes that a holistic approach involving governmental, community, and non-governmental efforts is essential to bridge the gender gap in education and break the cycle of poverty in India's urban slums. |
