In agriculture sector women are more in number than male. For housekeeping, health care, catering, vegetable bazaar, Anganwadi, house maid services, and in other services liking banking, primary to tertiary education, receptionists, etc. a sizeable number of women are involved. More number of girls appear for SSC exam. than boys and girl students secure high ranking. India has produced women warriors, philosophers, scientists, etc. India is one of the countries that has given voting rights without any demand from women, Indian women just in a span of 67 years became PM and President of India, recently we have seen 2 women heading Loksabha, there are ministers in the State and Central Govt., and above all, many women have been CMs of several states., Are not these unique and non-paralleled cases seen in India compared to advanced countries? No doubt, principle of gender equality is accepted by Human race from the time immemorial and more so in India.
Can we work on a hypothesis
"GII related to a selective sector is the only measure for assessing the attitude of a society towards women".

Subject: [MTC Global] Prestigious Indian institutions have no female academic heads: Report
There is a significant shortage of female academic leaders in the higher education system of the country, as only 6.67 per cent of Indian institutes are headed by women, says a report.
According to Edushine Advisory Group, a strategic management consulting firm specialising in higher education in the country, India's Gender Inequality Index (GII) is 0.563 which is worse than the world average of 0.450.
The report which assessed percentage of females in positions of influence such as Vice-Chancellors or Directors in 810 institutions of higher education in India, found that only 6.67 per cent institutions (54 out of 810) are headed by females.
"Recently, government regulations have increased female participation in corporate board rooms, however, it is important for us to create female academic leaders who can inspire young girls during their study days to take up leadership roles," EduShine Managing Partner Kalpesh Banker said.
Though gender gap in academic leadership is a global phenomenon, India lags much behind the developed countries like the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom which have female participation at leadership level at 18 per cent, 21 per cent and 17 per cent, respectively.
Female participation at top positions in Indian universities is negligible. Moreover, the most prestigious institutions in India have no female academic heads, the report said.
It noted that Central universities have the highest female participation as 9.8 per cent institutes (5 out of 51) are headed by females, while, State universities have only 8.61 per cent (28 out of 325).
Institutes of national importance that includes IITs, NITs, IISERs, AIIMS have only 5.47 per cent (4 out of 73 representation at director level.
Interestingly, India has registered significant progress
in female enrollment in education.
In 1950-51, India's female enrollment ratio was 14 females per 100 males. By 2013-2014, it has improved to 80 females per 100 males, the report added.
The institutions covered in the research includes all the universities categorised into Central University, State University, State Private University, Deemed University, Institute of National Importance and IIMs.
