Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Wednesday said women are the greatest stakeholders in Indian democracy and asked corporates to come forward and contribute towards the education of girls.


Dhankhar was addressing the centenary celebrations of the Indraprastha College for Women on Delhi University's north campus.


"Our businessmen donate so much to foreign NGOs. The corporates must come forward and utilise their CSR funds to contribute towards the education of girls," he said.


Dhankhar said educating a girl can transform an entire generation thereby beginning a revolution.

While inviting students of the college to visit the new Parliament building, he described them are soldiers who will usher in the golden period in the next 25 years of 'Amrit Kaal'.
