Women should pursue education seriously as it provides economic independence for them to achieve their goals, said Justice K. B. K. Vasuki, Judge, Madras High Court, on Wednesday.
Delivering the inaugural address at the student scholarship programme at the VIT campus here, Justice Vasuki said that back in the days, women were not allowed to pursue education and had to depend on family members, including children. However, things have changed as many women, especially in the rural areas, are able to pursue education.
“Education helps to create self-confidence among women. It creates an environment where women feel that they can face their challenges successfully. Learning is a life-long exercise,” she said.
