Women empowerment- still a concept

Women empowerment is still a flowery concept in many parts in our country.
Today is my mother's birthday and I want to share something very serious what she always wanted from core of her heart
She used to talk about 'Female's education' in 90's when it was thought to be a waste of time and money for many families.
She opened a school(high school) -which was never approved by state goverment and after her deathit got closed- and provided basic infrastructure for the girls to get good education and at least pass their board exams with good marks.
Initially She fulfilled her responsibility diligently but after sometime it got really difficult for her to continue with that- when number of students increased ,and requirement of more teachers and other stuffs arose-  but she never gave up and kept providing the minimum essential amenities till her last breath.
After her death(7 years ago) the school got closed and a national party convention center is present there now.
We talk about 'women empowerment' but how can it be possible without proper education
Female literacy rate in India is still around 60%(just around 50% in big states like Bihar,UP,Rajasthan ) .
If we solely depend upon Goverment policies and their implimentation I think the condition would never improve,It will not improve till each one of us starts focusing on our locality and ensuring that evey child there should get proper education .
