what about women empowerment in nagaland
Answers
Answer:
the women of the Naga society do exercise political rights, and by rights, it means casting a vote. But rarely has there been a time when one will find a woman in the constituency. The fact that a woman is on top of the field than a man is not seen as an everyday affair. If only women were encouraged and supported by the men in the independent decisions they make without having to raise eyebrows and be skeptical about it then the empowerment of women would not be such a problem. The gender bias has been widely debated with no real solution except emphasizing on the efforts in targeting the sources of violence and ill-will towards women.

Chankija is the owner and editor of Nagaland Page — the first daily in the entire northeast to be founded by a woman. Bano Haralu, a popular face on national television covering the northeast for over a decade, is the founding-editor of Nagaland Today. Haralu, who returned to journalism after scripting an unparalleled success story in the conservation of the rare Amur falcons, also helped revive Eastern Mirror, one of the state’s popular dailies. Khrietsonuo Rio is now the editor of Eastern Mirror. Of the five prominent English dailies from Nagaland, three have women editors. With a healthy gender mix in newspaper offices, women are the mainstay of the state’s media. Nagaland is also among the very few states to have more female teachers at various levels, says the All India Survey on Higher Education (AISHE) 2017-18 by the Union ministry of human resource development. There are 1,261 women and 1,006 men teaching at various levels of higher education, against an all-India level of 72 female teachers to 100 male teachers, the AISHE says. At the level of lecturer or assistant professor, women — with 1,060 positions out of the total 1,818 occupied seats — beat their male counterparts handsomely. There are 96 women amongst the 190 readers and associate professors in the state. At the level of professor, however, the balance gets skewed with just 44 women among the 143 faculty members. But this too might change soon. “Many women may have opted out of pursuing higher education at the doctoral level for various reasons earlier... But I can say with confidence that a few years down the line, the ratio will reverse, because, the current trend shows that the number of female PhD aspirants and registered scholars is higher (than their male counterparts),” Toshimenla Jamir, head of department, sociology, at the Nagaland University said. The AISHE, too, points in that direction — 257 women PhD candidates against 235 male scholars. There are 12 women pursuing MPhil in Nagaland, exactly double the number of their male counterparts.
