Bihar girls to speak for empowerment in special 'parliament'

Bihar Government’s Education Secretary Anjani Kumar Singh said a girl each from 243 assembly constituencies of Bihar would articulate their views and suggestions on empowerment of women at a special “parliament” session for them that will be held in Patna on January 24.

Talking to the reporters in Patna on January 16, 2012, Singh said the parliament for and by the girls had been conceived to give them exposure about the parliamentary system akin to the parliament and state legislatures where the elected representatives speak for their constituents.
