UP Guv advocates for women reservation

Ghaziabad, Mar 7: Uttar Pradesh Governor Ram Naik today expressed pleasure over students' opting for traditional dresses willingly instead of western attire on the occasion of the convocation.

Naik said that 25 universities of whose he is Chancellor have changed the European graduate gown culture voluntarily and are using traditional Indian dresses during the convocation ceremony.

He also advocated for women reservation in Parliament and state assemblies, saying 40 per cent of girls have graduated in all universities of the state, which is a good sign.

During Atal Bihari Vajpayee's term as Prime Minister, I as a minister gave suggestions to implement 33 per cent reservation in Goa and North Eastern states where the count of MPs is less.

Naik was addressing a gathering at 24th convocation ceremony of Centre for Management Development at Modi Nagar.
