He said women empowerment doesn’t mean the movement is opposed to men, rather it's empowering women mentally, emotionally, etc. He encouraged students to see their inner talent as they all can reason and rationalize things. He said women's sex ratio of Tseminyu is 1022, the male literacy rate is 88% and the female is 76%. Education makes us think critically, and the ability to reason, education means to release creative energy and make us better citizens, he said.
