KGBV helps reduce which barrier in girls education?

Correct answer: Distance and safe accommodation problem

Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas, commonly called KGBVs, are residential schooling arrangements intended to support girls who face barriers to education. A residential facility is especially useful for girls living in remote areas, where a school may be far from home or daily travel may be unsafe, expensive, or impossible. Staying near the school can make regular attendance more practical and can improve access to continued education.

Option A is correct because KGBV helps address distance and the need for safe accommodation. The question is about access to education, not about sports materials, the number of holidays, or the colour of a school building. By combining schooling with residential support, KGBV can help girls from disadvantaged or underserved communities remain in education. The precise support may vary by programme, but the stated barrier matches its main purpose.
