Education is the key to overcoming women’s challenges, says former KPSC member

Former KPSC member Nagabai Bulla emphasizes education as the key to empowering women at State-level convention in Kalaburagi.

“Education is the solution to all the challenges faced by women,” said the former member of the Karnataka Public Service Commission Nagabai Bulla during her inaugural address at the fifth State-level Women Agricultural Workers Convention in Kalaburagi on Tuesday.

The event, organised by the Karnataka Pranta Krishi Koolikarara Sangha and the Women Agricultural Workers State Sub-Committee, took place at the KEB Function Hall.

Ms. Bulla emphasised that poverty, illiteracy, superstition and even blind religious beliefs continue to hinder the progress of women. “Education is the only cure,” she asserted.

Urging mothers not to let hardship disrupt their children’s education, she added, “Even if you cannot build a house or own land, giving your children a proper education will empower them to build their own future.”

She also cautioned against relying on others for change: “No one else can come and transform our lives. We must use government schemes wisely and bring about our own change.”

Speaking about financial traps, she warned women to be wary of microfinance loans that offer “easy and quick” credit. “Instead, manage expenses wisely and find ways to save within your means,” she advised.

Advocate Sarasija Rajan, who addressing the gathering, stressed the importance of legal awareness among women. “Knowledge of the law gives you strength and confidence. Without it, you’re vulnerable to unnecessary legal troubles,” she said.
