since at least $3$ girls are to be there in every committee, the committee can consist of

$(a)$ $3$ girls and $4$ boys or

$(b)$ $4$ girls and $3$ boys

$3$ girls and $4$ boys can be selected in $^{4} C_{3} \times^{9} C_{4}$ ways.

$4$ girls and $3$ boys can be selected in $^{4} C_{4} \times^{9} C_{3}$ ways.

Therefore, in this case, required number of ways $=^{4} C_{3} \times^{9} C_{4}+^{4} C_{4} \times^{9} C_{3}$

$=504+84=588$
