Women employment: a multiplier effect
Women employment: a multiplier effect
Women employment in remunerative jobs in the traditional society is generally frowned upon. Sometime this is motivated by jealous because a male bastion is shaken. However, their contribution to civilization can not be belittled by any means. Recently a women battalion is created in BSF. These women have been deployed at the India-Pakistan boarder in Punjab. Where, within one kilometer from the international boundary a barbed-wire barrier has been laid down all along the boarder and entry to the agricultural fields falling in this zone is regulated through gates. These gates were manned by male BSF. Therefore, the male farmers only could pass through the stern frisking exercise and be able to go to earn their wages or to work in their fields.
Deployment of the female BSF has facilitated the female farmers too to join their counter part in the fields. This change has brought many significant developments in the surrounding villages. Productivity of the fields has gone up; income of the house holds has increased, besides the change in the psychology of these women. Such kind of initiatives is welcome; rather, we should identify the activity where women employment could trigger multiplier effect.

Your vision is appreciated.
Our male dominated society is eclipsed over females. Uneccesary we put too much weight on male ego. We should bit broaden our spectrum and move forward. In our society so called eductaed people also there is huge blockage in their mind on that issues. We have dire need to unlock this bondage and customs.
