Education is everyone’s right and it is one of the most crucial areas of empowerment. Educated women contributed greatly to society’s development and they can share the responsibility of men in every walk of life. Education to girls is still a less preferred option in rural areas. India is a growing nation .Complete progress would not be feasible unless every Indian is not only educated but also highly skillful. Education and skill go hand in hand. If education does not lead to skill it is only a waste of knowledge. In the earlier days women used to take up courses like Home-science, tailoring, Sociology, Nursing etc pertaining to what normally a woman was supposed to or believed to be able to do.
She has now broken open the boundaries and has conquered land ,under sea and above sky. Women have become pilots, aeronautical engineers, submarine crew members and has even gone on space shuttles. Recently a seven member Indian women team cruised across the world without the help of men.Recently Geraldine”Gerry Mock” created record by flying solo across the globe.It is now rare to find a field where women have not entered. Why to talk of women in lofty jobs alone, women women are now taking up jobs of auto drivers, heavy vehicle lorry driversetc.
They are occupying the positions of being the world policy makers.A famous saying goes thus,”If you educate a man you educate an individual, but if you educate a woman you educate a family”.
