Concept:
Growth and development of any society is measured by the status of women in the society. In this context, India is a fortunate country where women have been great achievers since the pre-independence era. Post-independence, role of women has evolved across various facets of life. Besides playing the role of a successful home maker, modern Indian women have been making their mark even in the male dominated professions such as engineering, politics, foreign diplomacy, sports, defense and many such areas. Indian women contribute more than 49% of the society and are playing a pivotal role in making India a Global Super Power.
