💨 Abstract

The Rajasthan government has ordered the merger of 449 schools, citing low enrolment and proximity to other schools. The move has sparked protests, particularly among parents of girls and students from underprivileged backgrounds, due to concerns over safety, cultural environment, and distance to schools. The government aims to improve education options for both genders, but many fear the mergers will lead to dropouts, especially in all-girls schools.
