Girls are only 5 in 25 Toppers list it is a 20% where it should be minimum 50%. It shows that our Indian society’s yet collective progress is 40% and it is 60% still backward.

Both the girls are from south zonal institutions. It is highlighted here that south zone is more progressive than the others.

The ratio of female population in south zone is better than the north. The reason is an open secret that the females are still being treated second citizen below graded than the males whereas the family and social culture is being maintained well by the females and ll the corrupt activities are headed and leaded by males.

These girls really deserves appreciation and congratulation since in a backward Indian society where the better half of the society is being kept away from education and freedom besides boys are being given top preferences in the family.
