Model Answer

Three steps to enhance literacy rate among women in India:

  1. Encourage girls' education: Parents should be motivated to spend equally on sons' and daughters' education and prevent girls from dropping out of school.
  1. Open more schools in rural areas: Setting up schools closer to villages will make it easier and safer for girls to attend.
  1. Provide financial incentives: Government scholarships, free books, uniforms, and mid-day meals will encourage families to send girls to school and continue their education.
Explanation

The textbook (Chapter 3) highlights that the literacy rate among women is only 54% compared to 76% among men, and that girls drop out because parents prefer spending on boys' education. Examiners expect practical, policy-oriented steps. You may phrase them as points; three clear, distinct steps earn full marks. Avoid repeating the same idea in different words.
