Hi reader ,

NPEGEL stands for National Programme for Education of Girls at Elementary Education is a program .To develop and promote facilities to provide access and to facilitate retention of girls and to ensure greater participation of women and girls in the field of education, to improve the quality of education through various interventions and to stress upon the relevance and quality of girls’ education for their empowerment.

There exists a significant gender gap in enrolment at the elementary level, which is more acute for schedule caste and scheduled tribe girls, for whom the gender gap is almost 30% at the primary level and 26% at the upper primary stage. The reduction of this gender gap has now plateaued and further reduction would require a concerted focus on the hard to reach groups. Therefore, it is necessary to include certain interventions addressing the specific needs of girl children. The objectives of NPEGEL are:
(a) to develop and promote facilities to provide access and to facilitate retention of girls and to ensure greater participation of women and girls in the field of education
(b) to improve the quality of education through various interventions and to stress upon the relevance and quality of girls’ education for their empowerment

i hope this helps

thank you
