Overview

The progress and all round development of a country depends upon harnessing the skills and abilities of all sections of society regardless of caste, creed, religion and sex. Women have been discriminated against for ages and they have not been given equal opportunities in many social, economic and cultural spheres. If we do not involve women in development activities, it not merely obstructs their own development but also affects the progress of the entire nation. The status of women could be the best indicator of a nation's progress. Asthana (1974) endorses this view when she says; ""the position of women in society is the true index of its cultural and spiritual attainments"". According to Sengupta ""women's role in the various walks of life has contributed to the evolution of values which have counted for what may be described as all-round progress. Her status is the measuring rod in assessing the standard of culture of any age."" Hence for the economic and social growth and development of the nation and community the complementary roles of women and men is highly presses upon.
