SAGAR (MP): President Ram Nath Kovind today hailed the rising dominance of daughters in the country as a positive social change.
He was addressing the 27th convocation of the Dr Harisingh Gour Vishwavidyalaya here.
“The dominance of daughters in the country has started rising. This is a good social change. It is now becoming the order of the day. It will brighten the country’s future,” he said.
“Due to this social change, people have started saying in jest that the reservation being provided to women for their empowerment would prove to be pointless in the times to come, and now boys might start demanding quota for themselves,” the president said.
“Out of the 53 students who were given medals today, the number of girls was more than the boys. A total of 32 girls got medals. Also out of 11 students who were given degrees (on stage), 10 were girl students,” he said.
On education, Kovind said it was not merely a mechanism to gain knowledge and employment, but a tool to make people self-reliant and enhance their capacities. (AGENCIES)
