Gender disparity in education sector is still a problem for a country like India, where women constituting 50% of the country’s human resource, still faces literacy–gender–gaps with only 54.16% literate female (Census– 2001). The present study is an attempt to evaluate the correlation of female education with Gender Development Index and Human Development Index, based on the data procured from secondary sources. The result of Spearmans Rank Correlation Coefficient justifies significant impact of female education on Gender Development Indices and Human Development Indices of India. The essence of development lies in literating women which will pave way for better future by literating their kids.
