Government should give priority to women’s education
There is a need to promote women’s education more in the country. Women are doing better work than men by getting education. He said that once upon a time there was more evidence of marriage of minor girls. In the last few years, due to the increase in the proof of education among women, there has been a sharp decline in it. Along with this, a large number of employment and job opportunities have become available to women. Due to which girls are not able to get married before becoming a girl child. Jalil told that in the year 2005, the number of working women force was 26 percent, today that evidence has come down to 16 percent. In such a situation, there is more need to increase the proof of education among women. Only the central government can do this work. India is a country of youth. They need to be given opportunity. At the age of 20, he should get an opportunity to become an MP and MLA. Targeting the central government, he said that the government is probably not aware of how much power, how much energy it has in its young generation.
