Women as Antidotes to Unlearning

Dr. Srigouri Kosuri

Abstract :

Education plays a vital role in every one’s life, women is not the exception. It is a major avenue of upward social mobility. In the Vedic period, women participated in all the fields like men and took active part in every sphere of human life. After the Vedic period, the status of women deteriorated considerably. Women are economically, socially, educationally and politically dependent on men.Education of women is even more important than that of men. The benefit of education of women is to create awareness of other rights to which they are entitled. The Constitution of India, Universal Declaration of Human Rights and five year plans ought women on an equal footing with men.
