To Conclude
 “It is more important to create a general
awareness’ and understanding of the
problems of women’s employment in all
the top policy and decision making and
executive personnel. There is also the
special problem facing women like the
preference for male children for social
and cultural reasons. This will require
awareness, understanding and action.
The best way to do so is to educate the
children, orient the teachers, examine the
text books and teaching-aids and ensure
that the next generation grows up with
new thinking.”
