Women presence in a sector is a barometer of how fair the business is: Housing Secretary

Observing that decline in levies, including stamp duties, make businesses fairer, ministry of housing and urban affairs secretary Manoj Joshi said on February 25 that the presence of women in a sector is a ‘barometer’ of how fair the business is. "So, the more we do fair business, you would find more women coming in it,” he said at a real estate conference organised by NAREDCO-MAHI, the association's women wing. Talking about the women's participation in the real estate sector, Joshi said that women’s presence in a business is a barometer of how fair is the business, adding that more women should get involved in the planning side as it would lend a human aspect to planning, making cities livable. "We need more and more urban planning capacities to come in. This is an area women have got more scope. Although there is a major focus on roads, hospitals, and other physical infrastructure, the human aspect in planning is very less," he said. "It's quite strange to see that women are not really there in the sector," he said
