I agree with Mr. Raju's statement about educating the female community worldwide, and India's gesture towards female education needs to be recognized widely.  It is the education which helps bring a sense of responsibility, awareness of individual rights and the value of being a valuable member to the society.  Needless to say, proper education for male community is needed for him to be able to earn livelihood for the family, but it is equally very essential that the female community is adequately educated also.  The reason behind this is that for a child, his/her first teacher is Mom till that child starts going to school.  One can safely say that first 4-5 years that child is learning everything from his/her Mom which basically lays the foundation of that child's character.  If Mom is educated, she will nurture her child with a sense of responsibility and inculcate all good qualities of life which will play a very important role in making that child a good citizen and a responsible person.  Moms' education will be conducive to educating families which in turn makes the whole society, and for that matter, turn the whole country educated.  Once a nation is educated, it will have a special respect in the eyes of world leaders and will be able to command a well deserved place in the business community too.  If one looks around in the countries where no importance is attached to the education for the female community, their life is like a hell.  Their citizens are still living in the 7th century life style.  How can one expect those illiterate people to have a reasonable and respectable life?  It is no fault of those people.  Unfortunately, they are on the mercy of their leaders.  THEREFORE, WHAT INDIA IS DOING IN THIS RESPECT IS ADMIRABLE.
