Answer Strengths Gaps Keywords

Main Body

Gender gap can be defined as the difference in men & women in terms of social, political, economical & aspects.

Bridging the gender gap

Education & skilling → flexible for women in rural areas.

(Eg) 'Diksha' platform

Economic empowerment → E-commerce platforms and digital marketplace

Financial inclusion: mobile wallets & digital banking services.

(Eg) Apps like "Zubai" or "Kavach" offer women access to information and support on safety and legal issues.

Mobile phone ownership → (Idea 10 would mark - Finder Report)

6.2.1 (2021)

Challenges and obstacles

Digital Divide → particularly in rural areas

Women & STEM → 43% of STEM graduate are women but only 14% STEM jobs are with women

Safety concern → cyberbullying, online harassment & lack of cyber security awareness

Socio-cultural norms → restrictive attitudes and internet usage

Way forward

(Gov't initiatives) → Affordable internet access, digital literacy program, safe online space

(Community engagement) → Creating digital readership, private sectors → need friendly interface, content in local languages

Linked PYQ

A Schering bridge, used to test a specimen, has thc following bridge arms: arm ab contains the unknown capacitance (C1) whose loss part is represented by a Series redistrict (P1), arm bc contains a 150 pF resistance (R), arm cd contains a variable capacitor (C) in parallel with a variable non-inductive resistance (R3) and arm da contains a standard capacitor (C) of 150 pF. The supply is connected between a and c and the detector is connected between b and d. The specimen is tested at a frequency of 50 Hz, it is having a thickness of 6-3 mm and it is tested between electrodes each having a dimension of 0.15 x 0.18 m. At balance, C4 = 0.375 uF and R4 = 423 ohm. Find the capacitance, dissipation factor and relative permittivity of the speciman. Given : Permittivily of free Space = 8.854 x 10-12 F/m.
