Jaipur, Sep 4: Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar said on Monday that the day is not far when women will get proper representation in Parliament and legislative assemblies through a constitutional amendment.
Dhankhar said this while participating in a dialogue programme on the topic of “Women’s Participation in Nation Building” with the students of the Maharani Mahavidyalaya, affiliated to the Rajasthan University, here.
Interacting with the girl students, the vice-president said the sky is the limit for women as they are creating new models of success in every field, including administration, Army and in the corporate world.
He asked women to take their own decisions and become financially self-reliant. “Do not copy men, they are not better than you, keep yourselves original,” he added. (PTI)
Dhankhar gave three mantras to the girl students — never get stressed as nothing is achieved by that, never be afraid of failure and if a good idea comes to your mind, implement it on the ground. He appealed to youngsters not to get overly competitive and said they should choose their careers in accordance with their interest. Dhankhar expressed confidence that the day is not far when women would get their due representation in Parliament and legislative assemblies through an amendment to the Constitution. He asserted that if women get this reservation soon, India will become a world power before 2047.
Talking about education for women, Dhankhar said by educating a boy, only one family achieves progress, but when a girl gets educated, several families benefit from it. (PTI)
