IMPORTANCE OF WOMEN'S EDUCATION

IMPORTANCE OF WOMEN'S EDUCATION 

THE CONDITION OF WOMEN IS FAST CHANGING IN INDIA . WOMEN ARE GIVEN EQUAL RIGHTS WITH MEN AND THEY HAVE STARTED TAKING THEIR PLACE IN THE SOCIETY . THEY ARE MARCHING AHEAD IN LIFE WITH APPRECIABLE SPEED . THEY ARE PLAYING AN IMPORTANT PART IN SHAPING OUR COUNTRY TO CARRY IT TO THE 21ST CENTURY . THEY ARE EQUAL PARTNERS TO PULL ON THE FAMILIES . A CART HAS TWO WHEELS , A CART CAN NOT WORK WELL UNLESS BOTH THE WHEELS WORK WELL . WOMEN ARE NO LONGER REGARDED AS MERELY PUPPETS IN THE FOUR WALLS OF THEIR HOUSES  AS THEY USE TO DO IN THE PAST .

NAPOLEON ONCE SAID GIVE ME GOOD MOTHERS AND I WILL GIVE GOOD NATION .THINKERS HAVE SAID THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE IS THE HAND THAT RULES THE WORLD . PRESIDENT LINCOLN HAS SAID I AM WHAT MY MOTHER MADE ME . PLATO WROTE , GOD COULD NOT BE EVERYWHERE AND THEREFORE HE MADE MOTHERS. SUCH IS THE IMPORTANCE  OF THE PART PLAYED BY WOMEN .

OUR CONSTITUTION IS DEMOCRATIC , INDIA IS A REPUBLIC . OUR CONSTITUTION IS BASED ON EQUALITY AND SOCIAL JUSTICE .  NOW WOMEN ARE EQUAL TO MEN IN THE EYES OF LAW . IN PANCHAYAT ,  MUINCIPALITY , AND CORPORATION , RESERVATION OF SEATS HAS BEEN MADE  FOR THEM . IN LEGISLATURES AND PARLIAMENT THEY HAVE GOT RESERVATION ALSO . MODERN WOMEN HAVE DISTINGUISHED THEMSELVES IN VARIOUS WALKS OF LIFE . SAROJINI NAIDU , VIJAYALAKSHMI PANDIT , INDIRA GANDHI , KALPANA CHAWLA AND MOTHER TERESA ARE THE IMMORTAL NAMES IN THE HISTORY OF INDIA .

WOMEN IN INDIA ARE GETTING EDUCATION AND PROFESSIONAL TRAINING . NO DISTINCTION IS MADE NOW IN RESPECT OF THE EDUCATION OF BOYS AND GIRLS . THEY ARE BEING TRAINED FOR MEDICINE , FOR ENGINEERING , FOR COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY , FOR BANKING AND FOR ALL OTHER FIELDS . EDUCATED GIRLS ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH THE LIFE OF A HOUSEWIFE AND ARE BECOMING CAREER - CONSCIOUS . COOKING , SEWING AND EMBROIDERY ARE NO LONGER TO THEIR TASTE . WOMEN NOW ARE WORKING SHOULDER TO SHOULDER WITH MAN IN EVERY WALK OF LIFE . THEY ARE WORKING AS DOCTORS , LAWYERS , JUDGES , POLICE OFFICERS AND HAVE ENTERED MILITARY . BUT IN MY OPINION WOMEN MAKE VERY GOOD TEACHERS AS THEY ARE GIFTED WITH A NATURAL UNDERSTANDING OF CHILD AND YOUTH PSYCHOLOGY  . BEING MOTHERS THEY CAN BETTER UNDERSTAND THE NEEDS AND PROBLEMS OF GROWING CHILDREN . THEY CAN EASILY WIN THEIR LOVE AND CONFIDENCE . THERE FORE WOMEN CAN PROVE SUCCESSFUL AND POPULAR TEACHERS AND TEACHING IS ALSO A LEISURE PROFESSION AS ARTS OF WORK SHORTER THAN IN ANOTHER PROFESSIONS , AND THERE ARE A LARGE NUMBER OF HOLIDAYS , THUS THEY HAVE ENOUGH TIME FOR THEIR HOUSEHOLD DUTIES AND THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE IN ANY OTHER PROFESSION .

ANOTHER IDEAL CAREER FOR WOMEN IS NURSING . IN INDIA PEOPLE ARE PREJUDICED AGAINST THIS PROFESSION BUT IN WESTERN COUNTRIES THIS IS REGARDED AS FULLY RESPECTABLE . BUT CONDITIONS ARE CHANGING FAST AND WOMEN ARE GOING TO THIS PROFESSION IN AN EVER INCREASING NUMBERS . ON ACCOUNT OF THEIR TENDERNESS AND CARE WOMEN ARE SUCCESSFUL AS NURSES . THE INBORN GIFTS  OF LOVE , SYMPATHY AND UNDERSTANDING MAKE WOMEN SUITABLE FOR BOTH THESE PROFESSIONS . BOTH THE JOBS REQUIRE A LARGE FUND OF TOLERANCE WHICH IS NATURALLY PRESENT IN WOMEN .  NATURE HAS MADE THEM MOTHERS AND CONSEQUENTLY GOOD TEACHERS AS WELL AS NURSES .
