DR. SUKHPREET KAUR, DR. MANISH JAIPAL

Abstract

This research paper is an attempt to analyze the status of women in India. The entire paper is about the women empowerment in our country. Women all over the world have been suffering from unequal treatment in terms of education, freedom, and religion. Data found in the literacy rate of 2022 shows that education level of women in comparison to men in India is quite less in majority of the states. Hence, education is also considered the main reason behind the problems face by the Indian Women. Lack of education and awareness are accountable for the poor condition of Indian Women. Further, measures taken by the Indian government to up lift the economic and social equality and gender equality among women in India will also be discussed.
