==Key Idea #3 Women and rural development==
The efforts of women have traditionally been devalued in all societies. Even now, the domestic labor of women is not considered in our computation of National GDP. Women have contributed hugely to development in many ways. For eg. occupations like animal husbandry, sericulture have seen high participation of women.
Secondly, in many areas, women lag behind, such as literacy rates, nutrition / health status etc. Women also form a strong component of the rural labor force, yet the wages paid to them is lower than that paid for men, though the output may be the same. Such kinds of discrimination needs to be countered both by enforcing the existing regulations and also by creating social awareness.
There are many programmes and schemes to promote womens empowerment and they need to be successful to enable women to play their rightful role in development.
==Key Idea #3 Women and rural development==
===Learning objectives===
#Understand that women have a critical role to play in development, specially rural development
#Understand how women are still discriminated against in many ways
#Become aware that women are rapidly entering into male dominated professions and making their mark.

===Notes for teachers===
This is an important section that can help students to reflect on their own internalised gender biases. Ask students, both boys and girls to write about their aims/dreams/aspirations.
Collect the responses and summarise the same. The summary is likely to show a difference in aspirations of boys and girls. Without pointing out any individual, discuss the same and its causes and encourage girls to have ambitions and dreams.
