'When a girl studies, her entire family studies'
HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar, who inaugurated a girls' hostel at Jamia Millia Islamia, said, "When a boy studies, only he studies. But when a girl studies, the entire family studies." Javadekar added, "By keeping women as slaves, or as a commodity...the country lost out on enormous potential as today, we see women not only participating but excelling in various fields."
