While the general participation rates in higher education has been steadily increasing and today our HE GER is 21.5%, this is not evenly spread across social groups and women. Equitable growth is essential to sustain higher GER rates and hence what kinds of affirmative action could be suggested to reduce gender and social disparities in here.

Just watched the documentary - India's daughter and I am filled with profound emotions. I find it difficult to understand why the government has banned the documentary in India! How can this government claim to look at "bridging gender equality" when they can't themselves even watch a film fully or allow their citizens to freedom of information. The government needs to put its propaganda aside in regards to the country's international image & take a hard look at what it stands for and represents

The previous government brought the RTE which is a really good move. However, many schools are publicly flaunting the provisions of this act. The central government can come up with a public portal where all the schools have to show all of their students and how were they chosen. They need to do it at least for the students they are supposed to take under RTE. then activists and NGO will do their work and force the schools to follow the rules. This will ensure education for all

How could gender and social gap be diminished when colleges itself make it immpossible... The college I am in doesn't allow girls to come out of their hostels after 6pm.. They are confined inside their hostels... on the other hand boys have no limits... this is not only gender discrimination but they are also making them immpossible to think freely... Mind should be free to think for new ideas but such things confine the student's thoughts.. their ability to think freely and to the optimum....

Bridging gender and social gap, looks like another activity, it is not. If we can provide good and equal education to all children and carry them to highest point of growth in their capacity, these gaps will be vanished in 16 years (100%) 1) Improve Education policy and make offences in education system/organization a crime. 2) Capitation fees must be non-bailable offence (It is extortion) 3) Tax rebates to top 50 organizations if they open branch in rural areas 4) No reservation

socially country needs to be integrated and the divisive, elements, feelings should be reduced. Increasing unity among Indians. Children should be given patriotic feelings towards country and should be encouraged to voice against social evils through nation wide essay competitions. Youth should be protected from unregulated negative internet exposure through messages of good message spiritually-driven morally motivationally persuasive emails if they wish to subscribe these.Make them motivated.

Dear Sir,In India there is a desire for a single child preferably a boy, because parents worry for their future and also safety of girl child remains a concern. But what will happen if girls population fall. Who will marry their sons. So the need of hour is to make the nation aware that girls and boys are equally.It should be taken as a movement.
