As education is a fundamental right, it facilitates shifting the mindset of society and helps eliminate poverty. The association between health and literacy is the reflection of survey and policy deliberations.
Thus, it shows the impact on the female population too, as they are suffering from additional hygiene-related issues. Therefore, for several decades, government organizations and market vendors have participated in educating the female population to maintain their health and hygiene by providing enough knowledge and education.
