INTRODUCTION
Human development as an objective is meant to embrace all sections of society.
Accordingly, the Constitution of India guarantees equality to all citizens without any
discrimination on the basis of race, sex, caste, creed, etc. Yet the ground reality is that
women find it difficult to realize their Constitutional rights despite the commitment to
work towards equality and social justice (Rajasthan Human Development Report, 1999).
The status of women and children is almost the same in all the states and union
territories, where males dominate and females are accorded low status. Women’s work
has historically been excluded from accounting schemes of the male-dominated production
process and male-constructed development discourse. Human development as a concept
is incomplete without understanding the ways in which the ‘situations are gendered’ –
whether at home, school, workplace or in the public sphere (The Madhya Pradesh
Human Development Report, 1995).
Although in Indian cultural tradition it is the prime duty of the man to protect the child
and woman, this social ethics is not conformed to in actual practice. The means of an
average family is generally inadequate for the proper upbringing and care of children
and women (Situation Analysis of Children and Women in Jammu and Kashmir, 1989).
Therefore, in order to present a balance-sheet of human development of Jammu and
Kashmir, it is necessary to know the existing gender differentials in the state. Against
this backdrop, this sub-section attempts to take stock of women’s conditions in different
settings, which can be analysed under the following heads:
1. Socio-economic security and livelihood issues;
2. Physical security, health and survival issues; and
3. Political security and participation in civil life.
SOCIO-ECONOMIC SECURITY AND LIVELIHOOD ISSUES
Education: Education is one of the key areas of the social service sector. It is a process
by which people are subjected to the influence of a selected and controlled environment
so that they can attain social competence and an optimum level of development. It
allows people to stand on their own feet by enhancing their potential to work for the
betterment of their own life and society at large.
