    The "gender taboo" development and focus all over India is of absolute necessity. India is the only country in the world the gender ratio is developing steadily in spite of the ever growing population. Women of India are equally enterprising. Their participation in the mainstream of the growing society is equally good, if not better. Every Educational Institute in India has a fairly large participation of females, and this is becoming increasingly valuable because the societal role is changing.

    The "gender taboo" development in India is therefore a "must" by all means. It is good for the society and also good for the nation.
