Mai Bhago Vidya Scheme aims to ensure that the girl's students continue their education beyond the level of primary, to promote girl's enrollment, and reduce the dropout of the girl child in the senior secondary and higher secondary school level. The name Mai Bhago is one of the brave Sikh women soldiers who guided Sikh soldiers against the Mughals in 17
