Their role both within the home and outside the home has become an important feature of the social and economic life of the country. It will become more significant in the years to come. Therefore, they cannot be deprived of education at any cost and greater attention should be paid to problems of training and development of women. It may be pointed out here that there cannot be educated men without educated women. If a chance has to be made between education of men and education of women in the case only women should be given opportunity to receive education because in this way education is easily reached to the next generation. Hence, the education of girls should be emphasized not only on grounds of social justice but also because it accelerates economic and social transformation and above all to achieve cent per cent literacy.”
