National Programme for Education of Girls at Elementary Level (NPEGEL)

The National Programme for Education of Girls at Elementary Level (NPEGEL) is an initiative in India aimed at improving educational opportunities for girls, especially in rural and underserved areas. Launched in 2003, it seeks to address barriers that prevent girls from attending school, such as social norms, safety concerns, and inadequate resources. The program promotes awareness about the importance of girls' education, enhances school facilities, and provides community support. By focusing on girls, NPEGEL aims to empower them through education, promoting gender equality and boosting overall development in communities.
