5. Write a brief summary of the following passage:10
Today women are playing important role in all spheres of life. They are no longer confined with the four walls of their parents’ or husbands’ house. They have come out of their kitchens and are working hand in hand with men in all the development programmes to the government. By receiving higher education they are becoming pilots, doctors, engineers, teachers, administrators etc. They have become able to prove their worth. They are contributing much to the economy of the country. Now it has come to the realization of the men that true development of the country is never possible keeping half of the population idle at home. So it needs no telling that women are playing a great role in the socio-economic condition of our country. The reason of women’s participation in various activities is for the gradual realization of the need for the financial independence. Most women work because their income is needed to supplement their husband’s earnings in order to meet the growing cost of living. The financial pressure of children’s education, accommodation and day to day expenses have become so high that many families actually welcome the added income the women bring.
