He mentioned that initially we started with literacy programme held in village through ‘nukkad nataks’ and spread the message of literacy. Later it was found that literacy in itself is not enough and schools, colleges and universities were approached to provide free education to girl students so that they may stand on their own feet. In this connection those who were not interested in studies needed to be given some vocational training to enable them to start own enterprises and stand on their feet. The function was compared by the Secretary Sh. Harsh Nidhi Sharma Advocate. Mr. R.K. Bakshi, Er. Narendra Singh.Veena Sharma from Rajasthan, Sunil Aggarwal were also present on the occasion.
It is here that Brig. Behl suggested that no one should marry unless he or she stands on their own feet. It will solve many of the problems being faced by the women in different fields.
