Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar highlighted the crucial importance of women in Indian democracy while speaking at the centenary celebrations of Indraprastha College for Women in Delhi University's north campus.
He emphasized the significance of corporate participation in promoting girls' education, encouraging companies to use their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds for this cause rather than extensively donating to international NGOs.
"Our businessmen donate so much to foreign NGOs. The corporates must come forward and utilise their CSR funds to contribute towards education of girls," he told PTI.
