India has consistently been in the top positions among the world’s most unsafe countries for women. The history of violence against women can be traced back to so many years and ages in the past that it becomes a matter of shame for the country and its government that it is failing so terribly at making women feel safe. It has become extremely essential that awareness is spread regarding the condition of women in India so that people understand how grave the situation is and there is no better place than a school to start this endeavour from. Shaping young minds properly is of utmost importance as they are the future of the country. Students must have knowledge about such atrocities that infect the nation and its people.

Are you feeling lost and unsure about what career path to take after completing 12th standard?

Say goodbye to confusion and hello to a bright future!
