WOMEN EDUCATION IN J AND K

Dr Mohd Haneef Kumar

Abstract :

The basic unit of society is a woman. As woman makes a family, family makes a home and homes make a society. So we should never think that a society would come into existence without the contribution of women. Women are at the heart of most societies. Education is the basic tool through which we can empower women. To provide education to such marginalized section (women) of society is one of the most important investments that any country can make in its own future. Women education is very important for the development of any country. We cannot hope for the developed nation without proper education of the women. Trained and educated mothers may nourish many lives and give rise to the developed nation. Women constitute 47.04% of the state population of Jammu and Kashmir. So we cannot ignore their importance in the development of the state. Education is the right of both men and women. Education is a liberating force and in our age it is also a democratizing force cutting across the barriers of caste and class, something out of inequalities imposed by birth and other circumstances…” (Indira Gandhi).
