The Empowerment of Women has been one of the greatest

social changes of our times. But theres still a way to go,especially in a country such as ours.

India cannot become a mighty superpower until half of its

population- 600 million women- is brought on board.

The condition of women has undoubtedly improved since

Independence.

They have been freed from some of the heinous social practices

of the past, are better educated , healthier and getting more

paying jobs outside their homes. But, is that enough ?

Take some of the basic parameters of progress and

development, and one finds that lack of education, poor health

conditions and discrimination in opportunities of work and

incomes still haunt women.

Though womens literacy has shot up from a shameful 8

percent at the time of Independence to an estimated 63

percent now, it still leaves over 200 million of them unable

to read and write, the largest such number in any country.

A recent NSSO survey found that by the time they are 19

years old, 41 percent of girls drop out of school. The

primary reasons given by girls for leaving their studieswere, essentially, that education was not considered

necessary by elders and that doing their domestic duties.

As a result of this abandonment of the education system,

only about 1 in 10 girls manages to claw her way up tohigher education.

There are just 62 girls for every 100 boys in colleges and

universities, way down from the nearly 90 girls per 100

boys in primary school.

Women have come a long way, but not nearly enough.

More than half of all service sector employees arewomen, mainly concentrated in the personal, social

and community services category that includes most of

the care-giving work..

There has been a massive increase in women working as

cooks, governesses, baby-sitters and maids. Between

1999 and 2004, the number of such workers shot up by

over 2 million.

Data shows that even when women are working in paid

jobs outside their homes, they do most of the

housework nearly 5 hours of care work at home

compared to about 6 hours by an unemployed

housewife.

The fact that we have a woman President, that we

have had a woman prime minister, that some of

the most powerful CEOs are women, and that ourgirls have won international beauty crowns, seem

to prove that women in India have come into their

own, living and working shoulder to shoulder with

men.

The ancient and entrenched belief that women are

not capable of doing most so-called mens work has

been upturned.

Today we bring you a Special Presentation that

celebrates the rise of the woman in all her avatars.
