prepare a speech on the importance of women education on the progress of building the development of nation
Answers
Answer:
The contribution of Indian women has been credible to the country’s development process since independence. It has been a source of unique strength for reaching national goals. In recent years it has become increasingly evident that women are lagging behind a great deal both in availing of the benefits of development and as participant in the process of development due to several socio-economic-cultural- political impediments.
This has become a cause for concern, since women number several millions and constitute nearly half of our population. Women, constituting about fifty percent of India’s population receive only a small share of developmental opportunities. So they are at the cross-roads. Undoubtedly, India faces an uphill task in the field of population explosion, mounting poverty, increasing illiteracy and women welfare etc. Education is one of the vital sectors which need to be coordinated with women welfare sector.
As human beings, it is recognized that male and female are equal in status and in other social aspects of life. Since, time immemorial, the females have been provided with priority of status and rights in the society. Perhaps, no data in the history of modem India is of greater importance in the emancipation and education of the Indian women than the date of our freedom. The post independence era has been one of rapid expansion as far as the quantitative aspect of women’s education is concerned.
