It was International Women's Day programme on 8th March at Madurai organised by Deepam Mahalir Membattu Iyakkam.There were lectures on Women and Politics by Prof.Sundaravalli, Women and Forests by Dr.S.Dinakaran and mine was Science and Women.
I mentioned that women and science meant knowing the working of products produced by science which would help the women to get the benefits of science.In addition they must have scientific outlook on day to day living. Basically the women hailing from Self Help Group had to run the groups scientifically in time and all should participate in decision making.More over every women had to think twice or thrice before getting the loan. Getting unwanted loan would also unscientific and superstitious that may trap them in debt.Moreover getting loan from Microfinanace Institutions was dangerous that was like falling prey to Godmen who ran away with our possesions and sometimes to death.Will the women around 100 in this field would accept this?
