Significance of Savitribai Phule Jayanti
The celebration of Savitribai Phule Jayanti is especially important in the current times. Since the onset of the pandemic, the access to education for lakhs of children has been considerably challenged.

Various reports cite those girl children are the most impacted by this change.
