Abstract: Women’s education in modern India stands at the intersection of historical progress, cultural transformation, socio-economic development, and policy evolution. Over the last seven decades, India has witnessed remarkable improvements in female literacy, school enrollment, higher education participation, and professional advancement. Yet, persistent challenges—including regional inequalities, gender norms, early marriage, safety concerns, socio-economic barriers, and digital exclusion—continue to obstruct universal educational empowerment for women. This research article provides a comprehensive exploration of women’s education in contemporary India. It traces historical developments, evaluates current trends, analyzes policy frameworks, and identifies socio-cultural factors that shape access and outcomes. The article further examines the impact of technology, economic reforms, and feminist movements on educational participation while outlining future strategies to achieve equitable, inclusive, and transformative learning for all women in India.
Keywords: Gender Equality, Female Literacy, Educational Empowerment, Socio-Cultural Barriers, Policy Interventions.
