Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Even after independence, women lag behind men in many aspects. Currently, many schemes and policies are implemented and provided by the government to encourage women’s education. However, the change at the grassroots level is far from the desired target. India is and has always been a patriarchal society. There are many conservative beliefs related to women that create obstacles to the growth of women.

Different violence and harassment against women also hinder the growth of women.
