Answer:
The origin of the Indian idea of appropriate female
behaviour can be traced to Manu in 200 BC: “by a young girl, by
a young woman, or even by an aged one, nothing must be done
independent, even in her own house”.
Women constitute almost half of the population of the world.
Education for women is the best way to improve the health,
nutrition and economic status of a household that constitute a
micro unit of a nation economy. In this context, it can be argued
that lack of woman education can be an impediment to the
country’s economic development.
The National policy on Education (1986) and Revised
National Policy on Education (1992) commit the entire educational
system to work for women’s equality and empowerment and
accord a high priority to the education of women education.
Gandhiji has observed, “I am strongly of the opinion that
women should have the same facilities as men and women should
be given special facilities where necessary”.
In India, women achieve less education than of men. As per
the Census report 2001, the literacy rate of women is 54.16 per cent
and that of men is 65.38 per cent. There has been a sincere effort to
improve the education attainment of women by both government
and voluntary organizations. The changes in the policies and
infrastructural supports on primary, secondary and higher
education reflect the initiatives of the Government of India towards
women education.
