"The project motivates meritorious girls towards further study of science and mathematics instead of soft subjects, it hand holds them and provides necessary training.

"The scheme relies on latest technology which gives ease of learning to a girl student without having to step out of her home on a daily basis. The study materials are preloaded on tablets and made convenient with mobile applications," CBSE Chairman RK Chaturvedi told PTI.

According to the statistics available with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), 135 girls cleared the JEE-Mains exam this year with the help of the 'Udaan' initiative.

Last year, the number of qualifying girl students was 143.

"It has been seen that the participation of girl students in engineering entrance examinations as compared to boys is much lower. More than 75% of the registered candidates are boys. The idea is to mainstream girl students and prepares them for future leadership roles by removing social, economic or cultural constraints," Chaturvedi said.



The scheme is limited to students from families with an annual income of less than Rs 6 lakh.



Besides subject experts, students from IITs are also serving as mentors, and motivational tours to IIT Delhi are also arranged under the scheme.



Concerned over the skewed gender ratio at IITs, the government had in April approved a supernumerary quota of up to 20% for girl candidates.
