The Maharashtra government feels that the society is falling short of teaching the next generation to respect women, which is one of the major reasons for crime against females.
 
“The next generation needs to think about respecting the women’s fraternity. But it seems we (society) are falling short of instilling this teaching,” said Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Friday, who participated in a discussion held in the state Legislative Assembly on the occasion of Women’s Day.

Citing the example of a brave queen, Ahilyabhai Holkar, known as a champion of women’s education and empowerment, Fadnavis said, “Today, we need a similar kind of women empowerment.”
