 One small piece of news was printed on daily that the gender ratio of our country has changed from more male to more female per thousand.

Means 1000:1020, i.e. for every one thousand males there is one thousand and twenty female. It is a very important development in independent India.

The latest census which is underway showed the benefit of the campaign which was run by the government and the society together to save the girl child.

But the malnutrition and other health issues are still a major cause of concern.

Recently we were part of one discussion, namely the financial literacy amongst the female in our country. Generally, it is seen that women are not part of decisions or rather discussions of financial matters.

The average financial literacy of women is less than that of means they do not take part in the discussion or they are not interested in the altogether.

Our own experience shows the above-said statement is true.

As the campaign which the government ran with the help of the society, has given a positive result, a similar campaign is needed for the financial literacy of women, but it should be from society itself.

We shared one report of SBI eco wrap, the places where Jan-Dhan accounts have balances, there are major changes in their life.

It is well said that one woman changes the whole family if she is empowered.

We have had an experience that when the woman gets involved in the initial discussion, the chances of 

the final outcome of the discussion to be followed in spirit.

Getting money or giving money is a temporary solution but if the money is saved by any individual gives the confidence boost which makes them take decisions as well as the risk which not only makes them part of wealth creator and preserver.

The way forward is to empower financially women to get long-lasting results.
