Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (KGBV):

In Nagaland, 22 Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (KGBV) hostels are operational to support girls from disadvantaged backgrounds. These include:

  • 11 KGBV- Type I hostels provide access to quality education at the elementary level (class 6 to 8)
  • 11 KGBV- Type IV hostels girls at the secondary level. (class 9 to 12)

KGBVs are specifically established in Educationally Backward Blocks (EBB), where:

  1. Female rural literacy rates are below the national average.
  2. Gender gaps in literacy exceed the national average.

Objectives are:

  1. Improve Access to Education
  2. Enhance Female Literacy
  3. Reduce Dropout Rates: Empower Marginalized Communities.

This initiative aims to bridge educational disparities, especially for girls from SC, ST, OBC, and minority communities, by offering free food and hostel accommodation ensuring safe, inclusive, and quality education in regions where access has traditionally been limited.
