A vision document for education of girls which is being finalised, will create the groundswell for ensuring gender equality.

The government and the United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF) are in the process of finalising a national vision document for girl's education in India to chart a roadmap for achieving gender equality in education by 2015.

Within the vision documents, the immediate plan of action for the next one year is the Shiksha ka Haq Abhiyan, launched by the Human Resource Development Ministry in November last year, which will be the cornerstone for the implementation of the Right of the Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009.
