Agra, March 30: Vice President Hamid Ansari’s wife Salma has said that measures like the Women’s Reservation Bill will not be of much help unless awareness is created among women at the grassroot level.
“I have just one problem with this bill. The government comes up with a lot of schemes and many projects but how many women are able to take advantage of these,” she told reporters on the sidelines of a function here yesterday.
Unless awareness is created among women at the grassroots and they are educated, such legislations will not be of much help, Salma said.
“Till the time they are not educated, unless they understand that they have to take care of their lives themselves, no matter how many such bills are passed, there will be no benefit to the grassroot-level women,” she said.
