Abstract

In less than 30 years of it existence, Haryana has emerged as the second moss economically advanced state in the country after Punjab. Economic indicators have shown a sharp uptrend ever since the "neglected" parts of the composite Punjab were carved out to form Haryana in 1966.

Ironically, however, while the general belief is that prosperity brings in awareness and reduces discrimination against the fair sex, the cold facts reflect a trend away from it in Haryana.
