Vidyasagar was a symbol of women&#8217;s advancement in the nineteenth century. At the period, Vidyasagar worked tirelessly to ensure that women had equal rights as males in all sectors. Education can ensure women&#8217;s rights in society. <strong>Methodology:<\/strong> The historical method is used to confirm the truth of past occurrences and hence discover the causal relationship between current events by gaining knowledge from the past. <strong>Findings:<\/strong>  Vidyasagar took significant steps to spread and encourage women&#8217;s education. Throughout his life, he attempted to demonstrate that women had an essential part in social, political, economic, and cultural affairs. At a young age, girls married older men. They became widows at a young age. He introduced widow marriage to alleviate the plight of these young females. He also attempted to raise public awareness of harmful traditions such as child marriage and polygamy.&nbsp; He believed that the fundamental reason for the deterioration of Indian women was a lack of meaningful education. So Vidyasagar established girl&#8217;s schools, a normal school for women&#8217;s education, and founded &#8216;NarisikshaVandar&#8217; to keep girls&#8217; schools open. In this essay, we will look at Vidyasagar&#8217;s role in reintroducing women to the mainstream and understanding their situation in the nineteenth century. <strong>Comments:<\/strong> Women can now move freely in society, establish themselves through proper education, and freely voice their opinions. When contemporary women are compared to nineteenth-century women, the true contrast becomes clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keywords: <\/strong>Vidyasagar, Widow marriage, Polygamy, Women education, Narisiksha vandar, Women awakening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Page No-<\/strong> 101-105<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-ast-global-color-6-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/bijmrd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/September-2024-Vol-2-Issue-8-101-105.pdf\">download journal<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: Susanta Kuila &amp;&nbsp; Dr. Pankaj Kumar Paul DOI Link: https:\/\/doi.org\/10.70798\/Bijmrd\/020800012 Abstract: Aims\/Purpose: This paper tried to assess the role of Vidyasagar in women\u2019s education particularly of liberation movement in India.
