AGARTALA, August 12 (TIWN): Addressing the closing ceremony of golden jubilee of Women’s college at Matangini Pritilata hall on Wednesday Chief Minister Manik Sarkar alleged that the central ministry doesn’t provide required money to the state for the development of the education.

True colours of the Modi govt are now coming out; many of their leaders are making provocative, controversial statements. Influential members of BJP are making disturbing statements which is taking forward their policy of polarization and disturbing the peace of the nation, added Sarkar.

 He further said that women’s education is quintessential for the development of the women in the society and women have to stand for the right.

 Education for girls and women is the single most effective way to improve the lives of individual families as well as to bring economic development to poor communities worldwide.

 ‘By improving educational opportunities for girls and women, Education helps women develop skills that allow them to make decisions and influence community change’, added Sarkar.

 However, Women’s college principal Manidipa Debbarma presided over the program and said that educating an Indian woman creates a vital opportunity for the social and economic development of India. An educated Indian woman will yield a positive impact in the society by contributing positively to the economy of both the country and the society.

An educated woman reduces the chances of her child dying before the age of five. The chances of controlling the population are high as an educated woman is likely to marry at a later age as opposed to uneducated woman, added Manidipa.
