National Conference on Sustainability and Gender Connection
Centre for Studies in Banking and Finance, National Law University, Jodhpur is going to organize a National Conference on Sustainability and Gender Connection
Date: 29th - 30th January, 2016
Nature and mother are inseparable and hence called 'mother nature'. Mother creates and nature sustains. As the manager of household or 'oikonomos', mother gives birth to 'Economics'. The major source of funds for financial industry is household savings. If women lag behind in terms of freedom and power, mankind cannot progress. Hence is the connection between sustainability and gender.
