The basic difference between the Gender and Sex is that Sex is a Biological
classification and Gender is the sociological
classification. The gender division is not based on
biology but on social expectations and
stereotypes which is very much prevalent in the
form of the sexual division of labour. In the
sexual division of labour the work is assigned
whether one is male or female. For example most
of the household works are assigned to the women
and outside works are assigned to the men.
The basis of this discrimination is enshrined in the patriarchal mindset
under which there is the domination of male in the society.
Preference to the male child than the female child: Because of various
social, cultural, religious, economic reasons the male child are preferred
which often leads to the sex-selective abortion.
17
At least 117 million girls around the world demographical-
ly go “missing” due to sex-selective abortions.
Gap between the literacy rate of male and female : The literacy rate of India
according to the 2011 census is 74.04 percent. However, Literacy rate
among females is 65.46 percent whereas the literacy rate among males is
82.14 percent.
Literacy rate among women in India is less as many of the girl children have
not gone to school.
This discrimination is also visible in the jobs where the male section for a
particular job gets higher salary than the females for the same job.

Way Forward
The Equal Remuneration Act, 1976 provides that equal wages should be
paid to equal work.
Religion
19
Communalism in India is a recent phenomenon which
started with the Partition of Bengal, 1905.
Before this, there were no such incidents reported
either in Ancient Period or Medieval Period.
Way Forward
We can deal with the communal riots by reducing the religion based
discrimination and interference of politics in the religious sphere and
thereby protecting the secular atmosphere.
“Promote harmony and the spirit of common brotherhood amongst all the
people of India transcending religious, linguistic and regional or sectional
diversities; to renounce practices derogatory to the dignity of women”.

Bridges the Gap between School Exam Pattern & Competitive Exam Pattern
The school curriculum and exam pattern are different from competitive examinations.
While the school exam pattern focuses more on knowing the concepts, competitive
exam pattern focuses on the application of the concepts. Starting early in foundation
years helps you to bridge this gap at an early stage and prepare for both school and
competitive examinations simultaneously.
Exposure to Competitive Environment
Starting early in foundation years provides you with the necessary exposure by
preparing you for scholarship examinations such as NTSE and several Olympiads,
conducted at national and international levels. It fosters an environment that promotes
discipline and drives you to work hard and dedicatedly towards your goal. It instils in you
28
a competitive spirit that is essential to succeed in life.
Builds Time Management Skills
Success in competitive examinations depends on good time management skills.
Starting early in foundation years will not only teach you time management among other
skills at an early age but also help you to manage your time between school and
competitive exam preparation in an effective way.
Offers you competitive exposure through national level test series that enables you to
know your potential at all India level.
Fundamentally, “the key to success is to start before you are ready”. Starting early in
foundation years can help you in planning strategically for the future. You can utilise the early
years wisely by focusing on in-depth learning where you can give more time to understanding
lessons and grasping concepts. Foundation @Aakash is an opportunity to build the tomorrow
you want today. Aakash Foundation courses not only help you pass school/board exams with
flying colours but also crack competitive scholarship exams and Olympiads held at national as
well as international level. 29
