This is a good thing, but we still have a long way to go. There is a need to change the attitude towards daughters in society. Daughters are not a burden but equal partners. They too are entitled to education like sons, are entitled to make their career, and are entitled to fulfill their dreams. Patna Temperature on dailymela.com
