Women's day celebrations , are we doing enough except celebrations

• Literacy rate of Indian women is 65% against 83% of men.
• School dropout rate amongst adolescent girls in India is as high as 63.5% (Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation - MoSPI, 2012)
• Nearly 45% girls In India get married before the age of eighteen years (National Family Health Survey III - NFHS).
•  Lack of sanitary protection causes 23% of girls to drop out of school
•  56% adolescent girls (15-19 years) in India are anaemic, as against 30% adolescent boys (National Family Health Survey III - NFHS)
• 50 to 60% of girl children do not go beyond their primary schooling

And all the angels that come from heaven don't land to earth as female feoticide is
still high in India.

In Female development index ( given considering all factors like education, discrimination , growth chances , safety etc ), India is behind Srilanka and Burma.

Govt should answer when can we really celebrate!

Swach Bharath , a good feeling but with out investment ?

Swach Bharath is definitely a good feeling and will come of good use in creating increased awareness among us for having all our premises clean .

But with out putting good investment in placing large dustbins for every kilometer at-least . Now all the municipal corporations starting from small ones like Warangal to mid size like Vijayawada and cosmopolitan like Hyderabad to metropolitan like Mumbai suffer from lack of enough staff , infrastructure . With out investing on having it concretely cleaned , dustbins placed, staff deployed- if you come and visit the same place again which is cleaned by some students, volunteers etc , after a month , it will again be like old gandha jaga ! Isn't it ?

Govt should start investing more on giving complete subsidies for toilets , giving more funds to pachayats and municipalities for infrastructure.
