Why is adolescent health education necessary in Beti Bachao Beti Padhao Yojana?

Correct answer: To understand health hygiene and self care

The direct answer is option A: to understand health, hygiene and self-care. Adolescent health education gives girls simple, practical knowledge about bodily changes, cleanliness, nutrition, menstruation, safety, emotional wellbeing and when to seek help. Step by step, the purpose of Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao is to protect girls, support their education and promote their development; good health helps a girl attend school, concentrate, feel confident and continue learning. Option A is correct because health knowledge directly supports self-care, dignity, safety and education. Option B, removing girls from study, is opposite to the scheme’s educational purpose. Option C, increasing school fees, has no connection with health education and would create a barrier. Option D, stopping community dialogue, is also opposite because awareness and supportive communication are useful. Health education should be age-appropriate, respectful and scientifically reliable; it does not shame girls. Memory cue: adolescent health education means “know the body, protect health, continue education.”
