Anil very motivating article. Just sharing, for last 10years NGO CHAUPAL is giving microfinance to the poorest women to make them self sufficient. By offering 20k we ensure minimum help for 1year at 5% pa administrative expense only. And the most brilliant aspect is 98.9% repayments by women. Comparison Men were financed e rickshaws and the repayments are woefully woefully atrocious, only 13%. Starting a project shortly whereby poor women will be trained to drive and maintain garbage erickshaws in a district in Odisha.
Thank you Yugainder for your kind remarks and sharing inspirational notes from the ground. It may be worth exploring the reasons for such poor repayments among males. Best. Anil
A very well timed article as all newspapers are full of debate and discussions on govts proposals to raise legal age of marriage for women to 21years.A step in right direction I would say as it is required to lower MMR, I MR , improvement in nutritional levels and sex ratio.
WOMEN comprise around 49% of Indian population but women still comprise less than 15% of loksabha..The bill for 33% reservation of seats in parliament for women has been hanging for 25 years. Focusing on women could modernize Indias politics.Every election now is showing increasing involvement of women, awareness of women's safety, economic well being is the need of the hour if India has to become a developed nation.
Dear Vandana, thank you. You are spot on. Gender parity is the only way forward. God news is that change is in the air. Bad news is that the pace is very slow. Best. Anil
The progress of a country is determined by the condition of women in that country. Countries where the freedom of women is curtailed, will definitely lag behind. An important point has been addressed in the article Anil and such thoughtful write-ups contribute towards bringing about positive change in society. Mortality rates, gender gaps and financial independence of women has been highlighted and the areas of primary, secondary and higher education could give an indication of the future. Very well composed and informative reading.
