ANSWER: Women and Child Development
The Ministry of Women and Child Development has proposed the setting up of a Women's Entrepreneurship Council for taking up with the government the problems faced by businesswomen.
The council modelled on the lines of chambers of commerce, will seek to resolve issues through policy changes.
Council should be up and running within a year. The conclave was held to celebrate International Women's Day.
To stop begging by children, the ministry has decided to come down heavily on those indulging and promotion the social evil.
To this end, an Anti-Trafficking Bill is to be posed for Parliamentary approval shortly.
However, the ministry was also working on an App to curb harassment to women in any form. The app, named “Shouting App” that would allow the victim to reach out to 10 people near her to keep the perpetrators at bay before the arrival of the police.
The app is expected to be functional by this month end.
