Majority of city college girls wants to contribute in the development of the society but the unwelcoming environment is forbidding them in their participation. A large section of girls want to contest the upcoming student union elections to be held in colleges but they receive a bounded opportunity in exploring themselves.
Akhil Bharatiya Vidhyarthi Parishad (ABVP) joint secretary Krishna Kanti Said, “I believe that women prove to be better manager but they are not provided a healthy environment where they can utilise their talents. Many girls hold themselves back for this reason only. I have been working in council for past one year and have faced problems in placing the opinion in front of the concerned authority.”
“Despite number of efforts made to empower women politics still remains a bastion of male, he added.
National Executive Council Member of ABVP Pushkar Bala said, “Though we talk about equal rights of all but in practicality the society lacks in providing it. When a woman raise s voice against corruption, her voice is suppressed. So many girls with good ideas withdraw themselves from politics as they feel that politics is not their cup of tea.”
She further added, “If the society welcomes and support the girls in implementing their ideas, the mainstream of city colleges will function smoothly.”
Anamika Sen Gupta student of Ranchi College said, “I want to volunteer myself in the upcoming student union election as I want to work for the welfare of the students but I am pulling myself back because of the unfavorable surrounding.”
To encourage participation of fairer sex presidents of different unions has decided to provide reservation of the girls in the upcoming student union election. ABVP’s Prasanna Mishra said, “In the coming election out of five seats two seats have been reserved for girls’ candidate. The idea behind this is to motivate them to come forward and work for the interest of the students.”
