Schools in Uttar Pradesh will now organise special self-defence training sessions for young girls, under the ambit of the state's Mission Shakti initiative. According to the Director-General of School Education, "These classes will help rural students boost their self-confidence and self-esteem. It is time for the girls of class 6 to 8 to learn self-defence techniques. Participants will also be given certificates."

For successful implementation of this initiative, the Department of School Education has provided a provision of ₹3,000 to all schools across the state. Additionally, the unit has also tasked about 10,748 physical education instructors with the responsibility of training girl students. These trainers will conduct a session for girls in their own school or in neighbouring institutes, stated the official.

This initiative is a big step forward to empower young girls. The sessions will train and condition girl students to take on any challenging situation and make them strong, both mentally and physically.
