In a country dominated by men, women are rapidly making their presence felt. They are unarguably just as essential to the nation as men when it comes to contributing to the nation's progress. Women are now playing notable roles in developing our culture and economy. They are now considered to be the forces that develop the country.

Once confined to household chores, women today can make a perfect balance between their household and professional lives. No wonder, then, they adorned high offices and respectable posts. Women are becoming aware of their strengths and capabilities. They are exploring different opportunities and are getting into professions that were once male-dominated. In fact, there is no field which has remained unconquered by women.

Let's take the police department, for instance. Women cops were unheard of. They were restricted to the desk and clerical jobs in law enforcement. They worked in juvenile facilities and used to handle crimes involving female offenders. Women were considered less capable and brave than men in the police department. But times are changing. Women are accepting new challenges and roles. They are proving themselves in terms of both physical strength and valour.

In a recent incident, two **female police **constables displayed exemplary courage and bravery to stop a bank robbery. The two female police personnel, Juhi Kumari and Shanti Kumari, were guarding the Uttar Bihar Gramin Bank in Senduari Chowk of Sadar police station area when three men tried to enter with the intention to rob the bank.

Juhi and Shanti Kumari inquired about their identity and asked them for their documents. One among them immediately drew a pistol at them. Juhi and Shanti did not hesitate for a moment. They immediately got on their feet and fought them bravely.

The robbers tried to snatch their rifles, but these two brave police women had decided no matter what, they would not let them rob the bank. The robbers were alarmed by their determination. This led to a confrontation, and in the course of action, Juhi was injured. Eventually, the robbers gave up and fled the crime scene. The entire incident was captured on the bank's CCTV camera.

The video footage went viral and got everyone talking about Juhi and Shanti's inspiring story of bravery. People across the country applauded and praised them for their courage.

To become a brave and fearless policewoman, you must always be prepared. You must educate yourself and undergo rigorous training. While women still account for a very small percentage of the workforce, some believe that women make better police officers as women are specially gifted. They are compassionate and encourage teamwork. Women are better at communication when compared to men. Women are calm and can often help stop violence before they erupt.

NFT stands for "non-fungible token." A digital asset that can't be changed or copied is called a "non-fungible token." You can think of these tokens as digital versions of pieces of art from a private collection. Each work of art in the collection is unique and has its own price.

Like a piece of art, an NFT can be sold for either crypto or cash. But, just like with bitcoin, the asset transfer for the token is recorded in the blockchain. This shows who the owner of a certain NFT is. NFTs are digital works that have been turned into securities, such as famous videos, paintings, memes, and so on. This tokenized work of art comes with a unique digital ownership certificate that can be sold or bought online. Blockchain technology is what makes them work, just like cryptocurrency.

Each NFT is linked to the digital or, in some cases, a physical asset of the original owner. Technically, you can turn any digital object into an NFT. The great thing about NFTs is that anyone can make them out of famous tweets, Facebook posts, Instagram photos, and more and sell them.

You might be wondering why people spend so much money on something that can't be seen or touched, like NFTs. You may also be wondering how people make money from NFTs since they are just pictures. We'll talk more about that below.

The value of an NFT is based on how interested consumers are in it, just like it is with the works in our made-up art collection. Just like with trading cards, their value is mainly based on how rare they are and how many people want to buy them.

Even though an image can be turned into an NFT, there is no rule that says it can't be copied or shared. But the blockchain stores and makes it clear who owns the asset. This makes it impossible to fake who owns NFTs. One of the main things that drive its value is the happy feeling of being the only owner. Most of the time, people make money and increase the value of their NFTs by selling them.

You can make money with NFTs if you buy smartly and sell later. For example, buyers can bid on Amitabh Bachchan's NFT collection when it goes up for auction in November. They might be worth more in the future. You can make money with NFTs if you buy and sell them at the right times. You can also make your own digital art, video or audio clips, and music as NFTs and sell them if you are a musician or a beginning painter.
