Discuss the need for promoting women's education in India.
Women have been neglected when it comes to education in India. The access to education has always been biased towards male population due to our social system which is patriarchal. The lack of education has caused exploitation of women and has resulted in a lower social status of women in India.
There is an imminent need or promoting female education in India, because of the following reasons:
(i) Women's education is essential for providing them economic independence and empowering them to save them from exploitation and domestic violence.
(ii) Women's education is essential in order to raise the social status of women so that the quality of life of women can be improved.
(iii) Educating woman helps in promoting family welfare programmes and thus, in population control.
