A society where thoughts seem to be stagnated, modification and alterations are always welcome. Such a thought has been put forward by the Maharashtra government. The Maharashtra government has launched an important multi-pronged initiative in 10 most backward districts of the state to delay marriage and motherhood among young adolescent girl

Imagine what kind of life would these girls have. And can we think of progressing when instead of going to school and learning for life, these adolescents became trapped in the cycle of procreation and responsibilities.

This incentive would let her fullfil her dreams and would definitely improve thestandard of living not only her but people around her. It is very necessary for these girls to complete their education and know the world around them to fight injustice so they not only survive but strife. So that their life is more than that of the men around her i.e; her father, her brother, her husband and her son. She would make sure that her own daughter never goes through the hardships that she went through. Thus it would form a chain reaction that would reach all the nooks and corners.

This has been begun in Maharashtra. It would b e great if it spreads in the whole country and definitely the result would be much better than expected. Because Education makes people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave.
