Model Answer

Two measures to remove gender inequality:

  1. Education for girls – Ensuring equal educational opportunities for girls will improve literacy rates, enhance career prospects, and reduce dependence on men.
  1. Political reservation for women – Reserving seats for women in legislative bodies (as done in Panchayati Raj with one-third reservation) gives women political power to raise issues related to their well-being.

Explanation

The question asks for any two measures — examiners expect specific, named measures, not vague statements. The textbook mentions: education/literacy, equal wages (Equal Remuneration Act), political reservation in Panchayats, and the Women's Reservation Act 2023. Pick any two and briefly explain each. Avoid writing a long paragraph — two labelled points is the ideal format for a 2-mark answer.
