Abstract: Girls’ education remains a pertinent and a very significant topic in the context of the overall development of India still today. In spite of adopting various Government schemes, amending educational policies, and disseminating awareness programs, India’s current female literacy rate is only 70.3% which is one of the lowest female literacy rates in total Asia (Gandhi, 2021). Many societal, economic, educational and political issues have been identified as the possible hindering reasons behind this frustrating fact. All these factors collectively impede the effective spread of girls' education at every level of Indian society. The disastrous pandemic attack of 2020 brings another major threat to this educational scenario and makes it even more complex. The present article addresses these different challenges acting against the growth of Indian girls’ education in the post COVID time and analyzes their individual changing status caused by the pandemic attack.
