Brief Discussion
Formally established in 1963, the Bhaktavatsalam Committee aimed to support the growth and advancement of women’s education in India. Education for women became a significant problem when India gained its independence, and this committee recommended equal educational opportunities for girls, particularly in rural regions, as well as education for women.
The following are the primary suggestions made by the Sri Bhaktavatsalam Committee:
(A) Building private school buildings for women is a good idea.
(B) To accommodate instructors and students, hostels ought to be constructed.
(c) Primary education should implement co-education.
(d) Married women should be encouraged to serve as part-time Gurumas in village schools.
(e) It is important to work on eliminating stereotypes about women’s education.
(f) Plans should be established to give underprivileged girls clothing and books.
(g) Plans for conferences, seminars, and radio talks should be put in place in order to promote women’s education.
(h) The State Government should build one primary school within a kilometer of flat rural areas with fewer than 300 residents and steep rural areas with fewer than 300 residents. Within a five-kilometer radius, one secondary school should be built for every 1,500 residents.
(i) Women teachers should find the teaching profession appealing. Plans should be put in place to give female instructors in hilly or underdeveloped areas more pay and benefits.
(j) It should be arranged for married women to receive temporary training in schools and to be employed by village schools.
(k) When it comes to admission to training colleges, women teachers in rural areas should be given preference.
(l) School Inspectors should be appointed to schools in order to prevent waste and stagnation.
(m) Plans should be put in place for rent-free housing for female teachers close to the schools.
(n) The costs associated with women’s education should be covered entirely by the Central Government.
(o) Plans should be created for free mandatory education in order to promote women’s education. Favorable laws should be passed by the federal government and the state governments.
