Abstract
India is the second largest country in the world so far population is concerned. But so far as education concerned it is a backward country. Education is a third eye of human, without education human is like an animal which mean who has no idea about right and wrong even though without education who could not understand own religion as well as culture. Education is a right of every single person including men and women, it is said that if man get education it mean only one is going to be educated but when woman get education it means whole nation is going to be educated, because she is responsible for whole nation, she nourish the nations mind with care and love. Education is one of the most important means of empowering women with the knowledge, skills and self-confidence necessary to participate fully in the development process. Empowerment of women is an essential component for strengthening and enhancing the authority by providing information, delegation of responsibilities and encouraging participation in decision making areas. Education therefore has direct impact on women empowerment as they become aware of their rights, their capabilities and to become independent. Education helps women to know their rights and to gain confidence so that she become proactive and competent and never gets discouragement from problems as compare to uneducated women. This is true not only because education is an entry point to other opportunities, but also educational achievements of women can have ripple effects within the family and across generations. Education of women can be helpful in eradicating many social evils such as dowry problem, unemployment problem, etc. Investing in women education is one of the most effective ways to poverty. However, women’s literacy rates are significantly lower than men’s in most developing countries. Thus an educated empowered woman can open up the possibility of unlimited exposure to new information and constructive thinking and can visualize new perspective on existing matters.
