Video narration
Kya aapko lagta hai ki Bharat mein ladkiyon ka school jaana hamesha se saamanya baat rahi hai? Aisa nahin tha. Kshetra, jaati, varg aur samudaay ke anusaar avsar alag the; bahut si ladkiyon tak pahunch nahin thi. 1848 mein Pune mein Savitribai Phule aur Jyotirao Phule ne ladkiyon ke liye ek agrani school shuru kiya, poore Bharat ki shuruaat nahin, lekin yah ek bada mod tha. Phir sudhaar aandolanon aur sansthaanon ne dheere dheere raaste khole. Yahin kahaani badalti hai. Azaadi ke baad shiksha sudhaarakon ki koshish bhar nahin rahi; yah raajya ki zimmedaari bani. Constitution, yaani Samvidhaan, ne samaanta ka vaada kiya, aur saarvajanik schoolon ke vistaar ne pahunch badhaai. Right to Education Act ne chhah se chaudah saal tak ke bachchon ke liye shiksha ko kaanooni adhikaar banaaya. Phir bhi gareebi, doori, jaati aur laingik soch baadhaen hain. To jawaab hai: nahin. Yah adhikaar bana, par baraabari abhi baaki hai.
