narayanji,the women advocates need not have to work as a secondary grade Advocates in the court resisting themselves as Notary personnel or otherwise,. All lady advocates can form as one team of consultants and work together for their benefit in arguing cases. They need not have to fear. In case of any advise, like minded people will definitely support them. You can pass on this to them and encourage them for their stability and self respect.with regardssivaramakrikshna--On Fri, Feb 24, 2017 at 11:49 AM, Stephen Narayanan <stepnrn@gmail.com> wrote:There could be many reasons: Indian
- Mindset of promoting sons ahead of daughters with limited available budget for education. I have come across quite a few such cases where boys were given the opportunity as they would be taking care of parents (apparently ) in their old age.
- Joint family where parents are afraid of sending their daughters to live alone in Hostels.
- Not just parents even girls who haven't left their family and parents were jittery to leave home for higher studies despite having the qualification and caliber.
However when it comes to settling down in Life, women/ladies don't take too much time to take the step of giving up their career for family.During my Ahmedabad Case, I came upon several lady advocates who were really good and I was given their references but when I approached them, I found that they had taken sabbatical from Court fights to settle for secondary task of acting as Notaries so that they could concentrate on their son/daughter who were facing Board.In case of Management, things may be a little different with decision making by women who do take up corporate responsibilities but when they start their own family and have to allocate time and things become difficult and unmanageable, they step back. Of course may do come back from sabbatical much stronger and raring to go.....but they are far and few.Regards,--Stephen NarayananFreelance Educational Consultant/Corporate Training facilitatorMob.:-9868386192On Thu, Feb 23, 2017 at 5:22 PM, Prabhakar Waghodekar <waghodekar@rediffmail.com> wrote:As far engineering UG programs are concerned, lady students outnumber gents in such programs as Computer Science, IT, Electronics, etc. 4-5 decades ago not a single lady student used to opt for Mechanical Engineering because of such reasons as: mind set: Mechanical means for men only, Mechanical course is harder (in fact it is so in terms of physical demands)) than other courses as it demands extensive drawing work, workshop practice and heavy experimentation. Even during the last one decade the number of lady students admitted to the Mechanical program hardly exceeds the fingers of one hand.
As far as MBA program is concerned, I find the following major hurdles for woman to join MBA prg;
- The Indian mind set: Management means man's job.
- Lack of awareness of Management prgs run at IIMs and their market value among female students lot in India especially in rural, suburban and city areas.
- Lack of facilities including economic status required for IIM entrance examination preparation resulting into lady students fall behind in competitiveness compared to male students.
- By and large girls' higher education does not increase her worth in the Indian marriage-market rather it sometimes proves a hurdle. Indian societal culture is not open one, even in upper middle class girl is considered as a commodity and we conveniently keep aside such concepts as Woman as Adishakti, gender equality, etc.
- I may not prove wrong if I venture to state that Indian societal culture wrt any religion is male dominated that affects adversely all our activities in all sectors.
Another analogy is the number of IPS/IAS/IES/IRS/MES/IFS, etc., female candidates selected through UPSC every year since the last 7 decades. Any idea?

Subject: [MTC Global] IIM disconnect: What's keeping women away from India's premium B-schools?In its 2016 post-graduate batch, 21.21% of students at IIM-Ahmedabad were women.
At IIM-Kozhikode, just 27% were women.
At IIM-Calcutta, there were only 76 woman students in a batch of 463.
When Kshama Shetty, 22, arrived at IIM-Indore for the group discussion round of the admission process last year, she felt intimidated. "I was the only girl in a group of 10," she says. "The moderators were all men too."
Shetty is currently in the second year of her post-graduate management course and the scenario, she says, is not too different from her GD day.
Though Indian Institutes of Management (IIM) have been trying for years to have more women in their classrooms, top Indian B- schools remain a picture of stark gender disparity. In its 2014 batch, women accounted for only 23.3% of the student population at IIM Bangalore; in the 2013 batch, that figure was 23% at IIM Calcutta.
The aim, says Janat Shah, director of IIM-Udaipur, is for at least a third of the students to be women. This has never happened, even in a single batch. "Some years we get close to 31%, but that is rare," Shah says.
