International Girls in ICT Day 2022:

Technology is a tool that makes a person walk along with the world. Technology is not just about using computers, it is more about learning the ways to use information sources to educate, learn, and be aware of ourselves to stand in the line with the other nations. Every year, to encourage equal participation in ICT technologies, International Girls in ICT Day is celebrated on April 28.

This year, let’s take a look at the journey of Indian girls getting on their feet with technology and how this day is even more important than ever now.

In India, due to the patriarchal system, girls have been exposed to education much later than boys. There were many reasons for the same including financial restrictions and the mentality that girls are for the home. However, with time things changed and society realised the importance of providing education to both the sects. While in many parts of the country, women are still not exposed to education and the work environment, the scenario of metropolitan cities serves as inspiration.
