🔆Swiss challenge model : The Swiss challenge model is a fexible method of giving contracts which can be used in PPP as well as non-PPP projects. In this, one bidder is asked by the government to submit the proposal for the project which is put in public domain. Afterwards, several other bidders submit their proposals aimed at improving and beating the original (frst) bidder— fnally an improved bid is selected (called a counter proposal). If the original bidder is not able to match the counter proposal, the project is awarded to the counter bidder.

GENDER DISPARITY :
Research shows gender discrimination mostly in favor of men in many realms including the workplace. Discrimination affects many aspects in the lives of women from career development and progress to mental health disorders. While Indian laws on rape, dowry and adultery have women's safety at heart, these highly discriminatory practices are still taking place at an alarming rate, affecting the lives of many today.
"Feminism isn't about making women strong. Women are already strong. It's about changing the way the world perceives that strength."
