DR.R.RATHIDEVI

Abstract

India holds the second position in the world of having highest population. There are approximately 49% female in total population of it. But if we analyse the current status of Indian women with other countries of the world than we can realise that the scene is not even satisfactory but the worst. Indian women generally faced all types of barriers to success like illiteracy, domestic violence, lack of motivation and support and many more. India is country where man dominance in the society prevails. It is very essential for the harmonious development of the country that women should go hand by hand and shoulder to shoulder with men. And for empowering the women, higher education will play a vital role.
