In this 15 March 2012 photo, Indian schoolgirls ride bicycles, received under a Bihar state government program of giving free bicycles to teenage girls to keep them in school, on the outskirts of Patna, India. Before starting the program in 2007, officials in Bihar, one of India’s poorest and most backward states, despaired over how to educate the state’s females, whose literacy rate is at 53 percent.
