Abstract

Women are the backbone of any civilized society. Be it a role of friend, daughter, sister, wife, mother or a role of a working women, women have facilitated this male dominant society in every aspect. Women constitute approximately 50% of the World’s population. But she does not have equal share at, nutrition, work place, property ownership and especially education. Though the law ensures equality in men and women in all aspects, yet still there are many women who remain uneducated due to orthodoxicity, security concerns, traditions and cultures etc. of many societies worldwide. Sustainable Development is that kind of development which aims at meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Hence if it is needed, we need to concentrate on women education which still remains an unattainable goal in India since independence. In the words of Shahi Tharoor (Times of India, 2013), “Even today after 65 years of Independence, the literacy rate of women is just at 65.5% compared to the more healthy 82.1% for men”. So if we want India to develop and to sustain that development, women education need a serious concern. This paper is an attempt to throw lights on various aspects related to women education and its need for sustainable development so that the future remains bright.
