IS THERE A GLASS CEILING FOR WOMEN?
• 15-16 per cent of the total workforce is women. 6 per cent of them in PSUs. Do you think that a woman's role has been highlighted through seminars, symposia, awards and other medium?
• How do you think that the concept of a role model (particularly a woman) help aspiring women excel in their areas of skill.
• How do you think profiling successful women through media, and what went into making them successful, and what were the sacrifices made by them, help other women aspire to be like them and take their problems in their stride?
• How do you think working women in rural areas, whose work go totally unnoticed, can be awarded? Do you think that awards/functions be initiated through National Commission for Women/various ministeries/apex chambers etc.
• As of now only successful, educated and elite women's have been largely aknowledged. Do you agree?
• That the best contraceptive is female literacy, has been championed by some. Do you agree, especially in a country like India, which needs to control its population on  war footing.
• How do you think this can be achieved and how can educated and successful women help in that?
• The President, PM and even multinational consultancies like Goldman Sach's have said that India will become a developed country by the year 2020. Do you think that can be a reality?
• What, according to you, would be the role of women entreprenuers and professional women in this and how can their role  be intensified?
• And what is the best medium to highlight role models?
• Why do you think very few women reach up to the board level in companies?
• Do you think that higher efficiencies in foreign banks is largely due to larger women worforce (54 per cent) at managerial level.
• Do you think women are more efficient, are capable of multitasking and less prone to corruption?
• Or do you think these things unnecessarily create a gender bias?
• What, according to you, has lead to only a couple of women reaching upto the level of CMDs in PSUs and PSU Bank?
