India can be proud of many things but its gender bias is still a matter of concern. One-third of its twelve million girls born every year do not grow up to be fifteen. Some are killed before birth, some at birth, and some die of malnutrition. Women need to be empowered not to let this happen. They await empowerment through education. Research evidence shows that education of women can lead to poverty reduction, better education of children and more responsible management of family finances.
"God resides where women are honored."
