Noting that the new generation constitutes change-makers who can redefine the status of women in society, District Collector Navjot Khosa has said economic freedom plays the most crucial role in women’s empowerment.
Delivering the keynote address at an awareness programme organised as part of the Gender Advancement for Transforming Institutions (GATI) activities by the Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology (RGCB) here on Friday, Dr. Khosa said making women financially independent was not enough, it was important to ensure enough opportunities for them to fulfil their true potential.
The RGCB has been selected as one of the major institutions across the country to promote gender equity in the fields of science, technology, engineering, medicine and mathematics (STEMM) as part of GATI.
