Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar urged corporate entities to prioritize support for girls' education during his address at the centennial celebrations of Indraprastha College for Women at Delhi University's north campus on February 7th.
Speaking to a gathering of students and faculty, Dhankhar emphasized the invaluable contributions of women to Indian democracy. He called upon businesses to allocate their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds towards initiatives aimed at bolstering girls' education within local communities.
Jagdeep Dhankar said, "Our businessmen donate so much to foreign NGOs. The corporates must come forward and utilise their CSR funds to contribute towards education of girls," as quoted by The Hindu.
Highlighting the transformative potential of educating girls, the Vice President underscored its ability to shape entire generations. He extended an invitation to college students to witness the unveiling of the new Parliament building, envisioning them as catalysts for ushering in a 'golden age' termed 'Amrit Kaal' over the next twenty-five years.
