GD topic : Increasing connectivity in social empowerment
There were 9 guys in total for the GD 2 were absent
Overall the discussion was healthy no fish market sort of
Initially 2 minutes for my turn -- since 3-4 guys already had explained what is social empowerment discussed education and gud gdp growth has made people ask questions, politicians are slowly becoming accountable
so went from rural india perspective women still not have their say increasing female foeticide , crime against women ,
