“I must point out here that none of our developmental goals has any
meaning without gender parity – and without equal opportunities for our
daughters and girl-children…
…We have to take accelerated steps to promote the participation of girl students and of women in science and technology. If this disparity is
not addressed, our scientific achievements will always be less
than perfect and less than desirable.”
Hon’ble President
