NEW DELHI: President Ram Nath Kovind today said it was high time we listen to “voices of our daughters” and change the mindset which hinders giving equal rights to women.
He also called for bringing in composite development of the country.
Speaking at a function organised on the occasion of International Women’s Day, the president said discriminating between men and women was essentially a problem of mindsets.
“To ensure composite development of the country, it is necessary to remove such discrimination. Every person in the society is responsible for changing such a mindset. We should listen to voices of our daughters and provide them all opportunities to make the most of their lives.
“We should change the customs and traditions that hinder giving equal rights to our daughters,” he said while presenting the ‘Nari Shakti Puraskar’ at the Rashtrapati Bhavan. (AGENCIES)
