WOMEN’S EDUCATION: PRE AND POST INDEPENDENT INDIA

Author: Susanta Sarkar

DOI Link ::

Abstract: In India, violence against women is a common evil. It is not only prevalent in rural and remote parts but in cities also, women bear the brunt. They are subjected to physical and mental violence. They are the ones who work most but are not given their due. Women are not safe anywhere, neither at home nor at workplace. Every hour a woman is raped in India and every 93 minutes a woman is burnt to death due to dowry harassment. John Elliot Drinkwater Bethune established the Bethune School in 1849 in Mirzapur, Kolkata, which developed into the Bethune College in 1879, thus becoming the first women’s college in India. First Indian-born woman to enter space in 1997, Kalpana Chawla’s life ended tragically when while returning from her second mission for 16-days, her space shuttle Columbia disintegrated and killed the 41 year old astronaut.

Job is linked with his set of mind. It seems to be his personal concern. Job satisfaction serves him as his motivation to do the work. This influences his effectiveness at work. Teachers are accorded great due to their manipulative skills in igniting the inherent talents of the children.

Author: Arijit Bera

DOI link

Abstract: The National Education Policy 2020 envisions a modern education system that will directly contribute to our nation’s long-term transformation into an egalitarian and thriving knowledge society by delivering high-quality education to everyone. Education is more than simply memorizing information or increasing vocabularies; it is also about developing skills that will enable pupils to engage with the world and succeed in the workplace. Classrooms that concentrate on technology prepare pupils for a bright future. The current research was conducted to investigate the provisions for employing technology in the teacher education. Understanding the principle of using technology can help broaden the minds of teachers and teacher educators, leading to the elimination of rote learning and drill, allowing for creative discourse between teacher educator and intern, followed by similar interaction and learning between teacher and learner in the school classroom.

Role of Theatre in Indian Nationalism during the Colonial period

Author: Dhirendra Nath Ghosh

DOI Link ::

Abstract: Theatre has constituted an important part of the cultural life and public entertainment in India with its varied manifestations. The material state of literacy during the colonial era makes the study of theatrical activities very important. Being an oral cultural form, it provides platforms for political awareness as well as a means of representing the views of the general public. The study emphasizes how, throughout the colonial era, theatre underwent a transformation that made it a crucial arena for social and political activities. Through artistic forms, it questioned and resisted the authoritarian framework, eliciting a range of reactions. This essay illustrates how Indian theatre evolved during the colonial era. Since the late 19th century, theatre has played a significant role in social and political movements. Through the employment of artistic forms, it challenged and questioned authoritarian structures. However, while being a crucial platform for progressive authors and political activists, theatre’s position in Colonial studies is characterized by ambiguity and marginality.

Abstract:“The ability to learn is the most important quality a leader can have.”

                                    -Padmasree Warrior (CEO & Founder, Fable)

Women are often dynamic leaders of change, galvanizing women and men to get involved, claim their rights, strengthen their communities and protect their planet. Their participation is fundamental to democratic governance. Yet women still have far to go towards equal representation in positions of power and leadership, whether in corporate boardrooms or presidential cabinets. Women have a right to equal participation. Once in leadership roles, they can make a difference that benefits whole societies.

    This study aimed to identify status of women, as well point out factors hindering women from the participating in public and forward some possible recommendations for solving the problems identified through study. Some researcher has forwarded some possible ways in which women could appear in public decision making and leadership.

Women Empowerment & Gender Discrimination

Author: Awaneesh Baibhav

DOI Link ::

Abstract:Gender discrimination is a curse in society. However, we still see these in society. These malpractices can easily hinder the growth of a country in society. In the 21st century, we still divide work according to gender. As a country with a very long and rich civilization, India worships women as goddesses. However, there are discrimination, bias, and stereotypes against women in our society from a very early age. While we tell ourselves that our society is modern, we still see female infanticide, dowry, and early girl marriage. This study tried to determine what kinds of gender discrimination were found based on women’s perceptions. It will be a comparative study that will help us know why gender discrimination still exists in society and the possible solutions to these problems.

Author: Paramita Paul & Dr. Arun Maity

DOI Link ::

Abstract:A student’s academic success is defined by the results of their studies that show how much they have learned. Earning a bachelor’s degree is one example of a significant academic accomplishment. Assessments in the classroom often take the form of exams or ongoing evaluations. How far a school or individual has come in their pursuit of educational objectives, both immediate and distant, is known as academic accomplishment. Graduation rates are one indicator of institutional success, whereas students’ GPAs are one indicator of student success. The present study aims to compare the academic achievement of SC and ST girls in higher education namely university level. For this purpose the researcher has followed the cross sectional method. A sample of 80 girls (40 SC and 40 ST) were the participants of the study. The study has found out that the SC girls have better academic achievement than the ST girls. Since not all castes and members of scheduled castes are accepted into mainstream universities, it may be concluded that there is still room for development in the socioeconomic situations of this group.

Status of Primary Rural Education in Bankura, West Bengal

Author: Dr. Pradip Kumar Bhunia

DOI Link :: =

Abstract: This article aims to focus on the status of primary education in the district of Bankura, West Bengal. Along with the status of the primary education the related problems and the measures taken by government are also major concern of this study. The Indian constitution clearly stipulates that primary education is a fundamental right of children aged 6 to 14 years. However, the majority of them drops out of school or do not attend on a regular basis. So, despite the government’s best efforts to provide universal access to basic education, several concerns remain unresolved. Primary education is seen as a springboard for secondary education. The analysis indicates that, although the situation seems to be dire, beneficial improvements over the previous several years cannot be ignored. Aside from raising awareness about the need of education, providing facilities, and ensuring excellent education, the usefulness of education must also be assured.

A Study on the Educational Relevance of Human Rights in Indian Context

Author: Dr. Probir Halder

DOI Link ::

Abstract: Since the beginning of human civilization, education has played an important role in awakening, teaching, and equipping people to perform a variety of jobs in society. Thus, education is widely recognized as an indication of human growth and as a means of enabling individuals to better their quality of life, resulting in desired transformations in social, cultural, and economic policies and practices. Human dignity is at the heart of human rights education, and it must be recognized, fulfilled, and universalized. Human rights are best suited to the study of good peace because they provide the environment and procedure for social cohesiveness and peaceful conflict resolution. Furthermore, The Vienna Declaration (2001) declares that states should work to eliminate illiteracy and direct education toward the complete development of the human personality, as well as the enhancement of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. The World Conference on Human Rights urges all states and institutions to incorporate human rights, humanitarian law, democracy, and the rule of law into all learning institutions’ curricula, both formal and informal. Human Rights Education is an essential component of the right to an education and is increasingly recognized as a human right in and of itself. Knowledge of one’s own and others’ rights and freedoms is regarded as a crucial instrument in ensuring the respect of all rights for all people, as stated in the Indian Constitution. The cornerstone of human rights education is that it should not only produce qualified professional workers, but also instil ideals of peace and tolerance for a higher purpose.

Abstract:“Women empowerment” and “women equality with men” is a universal issue. Women empowerment is a term that is used to encourage, inspire and celebrate women. It is also used to celebrate the strides that women and girls have taken in terms of gender equality, financial independence and high confidence. Women empowerment is all about giving women the power and control of their lives to become anything they want and to do what they want in situations where they were not allowed once upon a time. It refers to the creation of an environment for women where they can make decisions of their own for their personal benefits as well as for the society.Nature of our society is male dominating from starting so work done by women were never recognized and appreciated. Nobody has ever mentioned about their contribution in music. The campaign theme for International Women’s Day 2024 is Inspire Inclusion. When we inspire others to understand and value women’s inclusion, we forge a better world. And when women themselves are inspired to be included, there’s a sense of belonging, relevance, and empowerment. Collectively, let’s forge a more inclusive world for women.

Author: Dr. Anil Kumar Dubey

DOI Link ::

Abstract:Women Empowerment essentially means women gaining more power and control over their own lives. For a nation to grow, for democracy to be truly established and for wider participation of the population in growth and development of the economy, the empowerment of women and the improvement of their political, social, economic and health status are of vital importance. In National Education Policy 2020, even greater emphasis has been laid on women’s education. Several steps have been outlined to make women’s education even more progressive. Among them are setting up non-formal education programs enabling out-of-school girls to enter the mainstream of education and providing education to remote rural women through open schools or distance education systems. Appointing of more female teachers to fructify these means of expanding women’s education have also been suggested in the NEP 2020.

Abstract:ICT is utilized in many fields; however, it doesn’t improve the standard of education. There are no established standards for assessing the quality of education, which has drawn criticism. Information technology includes hardware, software, and methods for gathering, storing, processing, and presenting data and information. Information and communication technology has the power to significantly alter education for students, instructors, teacher educators, and others. It can also provide creative, effective solutions to some of the problems facing our country’s educational system. India is one of the emerging nations that has made the greatest advancements in ICT development. Its growth has been astounding, especially in the area of education. ICTs will unquestionably be the cornerstone of future development. There is now a new global economy due to the pace of globalization and technical innovation during the last fifteen years. The goals and nature of educational institutions are greatly impacted by the emergence of this new global economy. Schools can’t just be places where teachers impart a certain body of knowledge to pupils over a predetermined amount of time, as the half-time of information continues to decline and access to information increases exponentially.

Women Education from Traditional to Modernity

Author: Ms. Bandana Barman

DOI Link ::

Abstract:Education is globally acknowledged as the most powerful means of empowering girls and women and protecting them from the violation of their human rights. Investing in girls’ and women’s education can transform, and even save, lives—the lives of girls and women, and the lives of their families and communities. It is one of the most effective ways to achieve positive, sustainable change in the world, for everyone. Education sets in motion a virtuous spiral: girls and women gain greater knowledge, skills, self-confidence and capabilities, improving their own life prospects—and, in turn, an educated woman provides better nutrition, health care, and education for her family. Education enables a woman to take greater control of her life and gain inclusion in decision-making processes, which unleashes her potential to contribute socially and economically to her family’s and community’s wellbeing.

Yet, today, millions of girls and women across the world live in debilitating poverty and are denied their right to education and two thirds of the world’s illiterate adults are women.

An analysis of the problems and obstacles associated with women’s empowerment in India

Author: Souvik Bhatta

DOI Link :: =

Abstract:This paper attempts to analyze the problems and obstacles associated with women’s empowerment in India. One of the most significant issues of the twenty-first century is now women’s empowerment. Women’s empowerment means creating a political and social climate in which they can live freely from the oppression, exploitation, fear, prejudice, and overall sense of persecution that comes with being a woman in a system that has historically been dominated by men. In India, violence against women refers to acts of physical or sexual abuse, particularly those perpetrated by men. Domestic abuse, sexual assault, and murder are prevalent types of violence against women in India. Since the victim is a woman, this action must be taken solely to raise awareness of violence against women. These acts are typically committed by men who conform to gender-biased roles. The National Offense Records Bureau of India reports that there has been a rise in the number of crimes committed against women, with one such offense occurring every three minutes. Indian planners and policymakers have given women’s emancipation a lot of thought. The government’s initiatives to empower women are covered in this section. Women’s self-esteem and society as a whole depend on them being empowered. It is feasible for women to have equal rights in politics, the economy, society, and education. Women are free to follow their own happy lives in terms of work, language, religion, and other interests in addition to integrating into society. The empowerment of women is currently the most effective development approach in India; worldwide, women are actively pursuing leadership roles and surpassing males in all endeavors. The study concludes that one of the most significant issues of the twenty-first century, both domestically and globally, is the empowerment of women. To accomplish these goals, government measures alone are insufficient. Women should have full autonomy to self-determination so they can engage in the social, political, and economic life of the nation with a sense of equality. Gender discrimination should not exist, and society should take the effort to establish such an environment.

Abstract:Innovation in science and technology has accelerated globalization and commercialization. Multi-present culture is what globalization represents (DEPFE, NCERT). Our sociocultural milieu has undergone a significant transformation as a result of globalization. Our customs have a natural scientific basis, yet blindly adhering to ideas and customs is no longer acceptable. For this reason, contemporary fashions and trends arose. The ecosystem and natural world have suffered greatly as a result of modern living. Broadly speaking, education will be essential in bringing about the necessary change in a number of ways. Global interconnectedness and interdependence can be promoted with the appropriate knowledge of and attitudes toward science and technology. Therefore, imparting knowledge about the importance of these practices along with a proper understanding might lead to an exploration of science and technology for harmony. A sustainable future requires a shared understanding of the importance of selflessness, caring for others, the environment, biodiversity conservation, and recognizing the mutual fulfilment and prosperity of all species. It is only when parents and educators take ownership of their children’s education and actively participate in creating strong social pillars that this kind of approach toward learning becomes feasible.

Abstract: Women empowerment has been thoroughly discussed in the last two decades it refers to increasing and improving the social, economic, political and legal strength of the women, to ensure equal- right to the women. Women are significant contributors to the growing economy. Women empowerment is essential for the achievement of sustainable development. The full participation and partnership of both women and man is required in productive and reproductive life. In all parts of the world, women are facing threats to their lives, health and well-being because of being overburdened with work and of their lack of power and influence.
The current scenario of women empowerment is very disbalance across the various segment of the society. Literacy plays a crucial role in promoting women’s right, achieving empowerment, enhancing overall livelihood and social status of women. Various measures have been taken by ways of enacting laws and implementing policies to empower women, but still there is a big gap that needs to be filled by way of implement more stronger policies and laws and creating an environment of awareness. “It is impossible to think about the welfare of the world unless the condition of women is improved. It is impossible for a bird to fly on only one wing.” – Swami Vivekanand
