"Bihar ki Beti"-Encouraging Education For Bihar's Girls
Bihar has the lowest female literacy rate and the highest female infanticide rate in the country. This is primarily a social issue as females are considered inferior and families discourage girls from studying.
Hon'ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi had launched a "Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao" campaign in select states to turnaround the situation and encourages parents/society to nurture and educate the girl child.
In May 2016, I, in my official capacity as a representative of People Combine Education Group had rolled out tuition fee waivers for Bihar Girls. These fee waivers were announced by prominent BJP leaders at a Press Conference held at Hotel Gayathri Palace, Muzaffarpur, North Bihar.
I am now taking this initiative forward, in my personal capacity, and will be offering cash scholarships to 2 girls from Buxar town in Bihar state.www.facebook.com/sid.baliga.3

Dear Supporters,
Thank you for helping us.
I have identified a girl named Manisha from Bihar who will be awarded this amount to enable her to study a course in Visual Effects (VFX). VFX is widely used now in Indian movies (both Hindi and Regional) and the sector is posting a health ~18% CAGR growth thus creating sustainable job opportunities.
With the slump in jobs in IT, talented students are now looking at hopping on to the Rs.10,000 Crore Indian Animation & VFX Sector.
Manisha is studying in final year at Central Institute of Technology, a Central Government Funded Institution.
