Glass ceiling is a metaphor that is used to represent invisible barrier that prevents women from reaching the highest executive levels within their respective organizations. This term was first popularized in the 80’s to describe the challenges women face when their respective careers.
The United States Federal Glass Ceiling Commission defines the glass ceiling as “the unseen, yet unbreachable barrier that keeps minorities and women from rising to the upper rungs of the corporate ladder, regardless of their qualifications or achievements”.
REASONS WHY IT STILL EXIST:
Psychological differences between men and women would be the main reason for this and it can account for up to 10 percent pay gap.
The need child care, housework and other chores outside of work depend heavily on women than on men which eventually leads them taking the back seat.
College-educated women, more often than men, avoid majors that lead to higher-earning occupations.
Women are still expected to be deferential, polite and timid.
EFFECTS:
It leads to unwanted
Stress
Self doubt
Sense of Isolation
Depression
Sadness
CRACKING THE CEILING:
However nowadays women are appointed in higher positions faster than men in high income countries, but data shows that women have still a long way to go and equalize the number of men in these roles. Also the fact that bigger the company, lesser we are to see women at the helm which has to overcome and there is a need to achieve something closer to gender balance. Raise your voice. It is you who have to stand up for yourself. Also, apart from standing up for yourself try to raise awareness and address the problem so that others can also benefit from it. One can also crack this stereotype by normalizing the practice of parental leave. A study by the Institute for Labour Market Policy Evaluation in Sweden found that a mother’s earnings increase by about 7% for each additional month her spouse takes off work. Pair that with the fact that 87% of women want men to take the parental leave available to them. Recruit equally across all levels and departments
At the end of the day, companies win when women and other underrepresented minorities are treated with fairness. When they focus on fairness and opportunity for all, everyone wins

Marie Curie became the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the first person man or woman to win the award twice. With her husband Pieree Curie, Marie’s efforts led to the discovery of polonium and radium and, after Pierre’s death, the further development of X-rays. The famed scientist died in 1934 of aplastic anemia likely caused by exposure to radiation.
Early Life and Education
Maria Sklodowska, later known as Marie Curie, was born on November 7, 1867, in Warsaw (modern-day Poland). Curie was the youngest of five children, following siblings Zosia, Józef, Bronya and Hela.
Both of Curie’s parents were teachers. Her father, Wladyslaw, was a math and physics instructor. When she was only 10, Curie lost her mother, Bronislawa, to tuberculosis.
As a child, Curie took after her father. She had a bright and curious mind and excelled at school. But despite being a top student in her secondary school, Curie could not attend the male-only University of Warsaw. She instead continued her education in Warsaw’s “floating university,” a set of underground, informal classes held in secret.
Both Curie and her sister Bronya dreamed of going abroad to earn an official degree, but they lacked the financial resources to pay for more schooling. Undeterred, Curie worked out a deal with her sister: She would work to support Bronya while she was in school, and Bronya would return the favor after she completed her studies.
For roughly five years, Curie worked as a tutor and a governess. She used her spare time to study, reading about physics, chemistry and math.
In 1891, Curie finally made her way to Paris and enrolled at the Sorbonne. She threw herself into her studies, but this dedication had a personal cost: with little money, Curie survived on buttered bread and tea, and her health sometimes suffered because of her poor diet.
Curie completed her master’s degree in physics in 1893 and earned another degree in mathematics the following year.
Born on 13th February 1879, Sarojini Naidu was a Bengali. She was born in Hyderabad to a prosperous family. Since her young age, she showed exceptional skills that made her stand out from the crowd. She had beautiful skills of writing poems. Her marvellous writing skills offered her an opportunity to study in two of the best institutions, Girton College, University of Cambridge, and King’s College in England.
It was her family that instilled progressive thoughts and high values in her mind. She grew up in a very forward environment. This is the reason why she believed in equality and justice for all. With these excellent personality features, she grew up to be one of the best poetesses in India and an ardent political activist.
When the British Government implied the divide and rule policy to curb down the independence movement in Bengal by partitioning the state in 1905, she took it very seriously. She became a political activist and traveled a lot of places in India to deliver speeches. She wanted to see all the natives of contemporary India unite against the tyranny of the British colonial rule. All her speeches and lectures focused on nationalism and social welfare.
She took a step ahead and formed the Women’s Indian Association. This association was formed in the year 1917. She gathered many women activists like her. After three years, she then joined Mahatma Gandhi in the Satyagraha movement. She then carried her nationalistic deeds under the supervision of Mahatma Gandhi. She also took part in the 1930’s Salt March. The British police arrested the protesters and she was one of them.
She was on the frontline leading the Civil Disobedience Movement and Quit India Movement. Many significant nationalists and freedom fighters were present at that time. These two movements literally shook the pillars of British rule. She continued to fight for the independence of her country. After India got independence, she was appointed as the first governor of the United Provinces. She was also the first female governor of India.
She wrote excellent books on poetry. She had remarkable poetry skills. When she was in school, she wrote a Persian play named Maher Muneer. It was so good that she got praised by the contemporary Nizam of Hyderabad. In 1905, she published her first poetry collection with the name ‘The Golden Threshold’. She was a remarkable poetess who knew how to write poems for all. She has amazed children with her skills. She also instilled patriotism with her critical poems. Her tragic and comedic poems also have immense significance in Indian literature.
Education is important for both men and women as both have an essential role in the development of a healthy and smart society. Education is a necessary way for delivering a brilliant future and at the same time performs the most significant part in the growth and improvement of the nation. The citizens of the nation are responsible for the greater future and progress of the nation.
Extremely educated citizens form the foundation of a developed nation. Hence, decent education builds a brilliant tomorrow for both the individual and the nation. It is only educated directors who make the country and bring it to the top of prosperity and growth. Education makes everyone brilliant and as excellent as possible.
A reliable education provides many purposes to life like an individual improvement, increase of social situation, development in social well-being, financial growth, prosperity to the country, establishing life purposes, informing us of many social concerns, and determining the circumstances to offer best solutions for any issue and other relevant matters.
Nowadays, everyone can get education using modern technology-based platforms, and also various distance education programs are available for the same. And such a modern education system is completely proficient in discussing social problems of illiteracy and inequality among every one of various castes, religion, and caste.
Education expands the creativity of people on a massive scale and benefits them to overcome all the diversity in the nation. It allows us to study properly and know every phase of life. Education gives the sense to know all human liberties, social freedoms, responsibilities, and obligations towards the nation. In short, education has the power to reform a nation in the best way.
1. Use money to gain control over time, because the ability to do what you want, when you want, with whom you want , for as long as you want to, pays the highest dividend that exists in finance.
2. Wealth is what you don’t see, its hidden, it is the oncome that you have not spent and that is the fastest way to be wealthy, not spending the money you have and doing its opposite will never make you wealthy.
3. Wealth is just the accumulated leftovers after you spend what you take in. And since you can build wealth without a high income, but have no chance of building wealth without a high savings rate, its clear which one matters more.
4. Do not aim to be coldly rational( by looking at the spreadsheet) when making financial decisions. Aim to just be pretty reasonable. Reasonable is more realistic and you have a better chance of sticking with it for the long run.
5. Like everything else worthwhile, successful investing demands a price. But its currency is volatility, fear, doubt, uncertainity, and regret and you have to view them as fees( a price worth paying to get something nice in exchange).
White Revolution was one of the biggest dairy development movements, by the Indian Government, in India in 1970. It was a step taken by the Indian Government to develop and help the dairy industry sustain itself economically by developing a co-operative, while providing employment to the poor farmers.
The White Revolution helped increase milk productivity and milk was now sold at competitive market prices. This program increased the demand for development and production of healthy animals, use of modern technology in milk production sector and networking between various small and large scale dairy industries.
The White Revolution followed after thesuccess of the Green Revolution and the aim of White Revolution was to make India one of the largest milk producers in the world.
Phase 1: This phase started in July 1970 with the objective of setting up dairy cooperatives in 18 milk sheds in 10 states. They were to be linked with the four best metropolitan markets. By the end of this phase in 1981 there were 13,000 village dairy cooperatives covering 15,000 farmers.
Phase 2: It aimed at building on the designs of phase 1 and on the assisted Dairy development programmes in Karnataka, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. By the end of this phase in 1985 there were 136 milk sheds, 34,500 village dairy cooperatives and over 36 lakh members.
Phase 3: This phase emphasised on consolidating the gains of the earlier two phases by improving the productivity and efficiency of the dairy sectors for long term sustainability. It ended in 1996 and by that time there were 73,300 dairy cooperatives and over 9.4 million farmer members.
Advantages of White Revolution
It ended the imports of milk solids in India and India started exporting milk powder to many foreign nations.
Dairy industries and infrastructures modernised and expanded. Around 10 million farmers earn their income from dairy farming.
Dairy needs are met locally.
Genetic improvement of milking animals has increased due to cross breeding.
The Human Genome Project (HGP) was the international, collaborative research program whose goal was the complete mapping and understanding of all the genes of human beings. All our genes together are known as our “genome.”
The HGP has revealed that there are probably about 20,500 human genes. This ultimate product of the HGP has given the world a resource of detailed information about the structure, organization and function of the complete set of human genes. This information can be thought of as the basic set of inheritable “instructions” for the development and function of a human being.
The International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium published the first draft of the human genome in the journal Nature in February 2001 with the sequence of the entire genome’s three billion base pairs some 90 percent complete. More than 2,800 researchers who took part in the consortium shared authorship.A startling finding of this first draft was that the number of human genes appeared to be significantly fewer than previous estimates, which ranged from 50,000 genes to as many as 140,000. The full sequence was completed and published in April 2003.
Although scientists have performed many of these tasks and experiments for decades, the Human Genome Project is unique and remarkable for the enormity of its effort. The human genome contains 3 billion DNA building blocks (i.e., nucleotides), enough to fill approximately one thousand 1,000-page telephone books if each nucleotide is represented by one letter. Given the size of the human genome, researchers must develop new methods for DNA analysis that can process large amounts of information quickly, cost-effectively, and accurately. These techniques will characterize DNA for family studies of disease, create genomic maps, determine the nucleotide sequence of genes and other large DNA fragments, identify genes, and enable extensive computer manipulations of genetic data.
Online education is a form of education where students use their home computers through the internet. For many nontraditional students, among them all those who want to continue working full time or raising families, online graduations and courses have become popular in the past decade. Often online graduation and course programmes, some of which are conducted using digital technologies, are provided via the online learning portal of the host university.
It’s not easier studying online! Online institutions must meet with the same quality requirements as brick-and-mortar institutions. With the advancement of online learning technologies, virtual institutions have enhanced automated processes to deter fraud and/or plagiarism.
Many online institutions will partner with universities on campus to develop and deliver online programs. This enables an online service, while providing validated course studies through the brick-and-mortar institution, to benefit from the advanced expertise and technology that an online provider provides.
I am beginner in reading books, and since I have not read thousand I can give you some recommendations from my prospective and from my reading style which is very really simple.
For begginers i would suggest read books that generate your interest in reading and you can read it without getting bore.
TIPS TO CHOOSE BOOKS/NOVEL :
Don’t judge any book by it’s cover, believe me guys I was same, just to buy books which look really attractive and caught my eye but that’s not really worth it, as you are judging a book by it’s cover but not by story, so please don’t do it
Find your interest, find what’s the one thing you are really interested in reading, it can be a romantic story, fictional books, non fictional , crime thriller etc.
Select book by reading about it’s multiple reviews, so that you dont regretit later.
For people, whop think investing in buying paperbacks books is costly, just go for Audiobooks, Audiobooks are easily available option for it and you dont have to carry it anywhere.
Some Recommended books –

Since Pandemic started, people have started taking mental health seriously and are talking about it much more than what it was previously now it’s more Highlighted, and People are taking these thing seriously and I am so grateful that finally people are getting aware about it.
Now what is basically mental health ?
You must have listen this word thousand time since last year, ”Mental health refers to cognitive, behavioral, and emotional well-being. It is all about how people think, feel, and behave. People sometimes use the term “mental health” to mean the absence of a mental disorder”.
