Education enables people acquire basic skills and inculcates abilities which are helpful in raising the social and economic status of the person. Women's education has assumed special significance in the context of planned development because the efforts of planned development are to bring all those in the mainstream who are left outside for some reason or the other. It is true that female education is constrained by socioeconomic conditions. As an outcome of the report of the Committee on the Status of Women in India, education was included in the Sixth Plan as a major programme for the development of women. Universalisation of Elementary Education, enrollment and retention of girl in the schools, promotion of balwadis and creches, increasing the number of girls' hostels, women's polytechnics and multi-purpose institutions and adult education programmes were some of the steps taken to boost women s education. Vocationalisation of education and technical-cum-professional education helps women getting outside the restricted world which they are living in at present. This book would fill the gap in the literature on women studies discrimination. In addition, Women Organisations in Government, Voluntary Organisations, women in general, would love to read this book to chalk out their plans and policies infavour of women. Less
