Education is the most important aspect for changing women's subjugated position in the society. It not only enhances the personality, but allows them to fulfill certain economic, political and cultural functions and helps them to enhance their socio-economic status.

Education helps in the reduction of the inequality among individuals and that is why Education is one of the basic right of every human being in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The constitution of UNESCO also have a motto to achieve “The ideal of equality of educational opportunity without regard to race, sex or any distinction, economic or social.”

You can tell the condition of a nation by looking at the status of its women.
- Jawaharlal Nehru

UNICEF states that: “The State of the World’s Children,” report for 2006, one-third of the world’s children lack adequate shelter, 31% lack basic sanitation and 21% have no access to clean, potable water. Illness, malnutrition, and premature death are common when children lack the most basic protection.

Renuka Chowdhury, who is a Women and Child Development Minister, said, "Child abuse is shrouded in secrecy and there is a conspiracy of silence around the entire subject. The ministry is working on a new law for protection of children’s rights by clearly specifying offenses against children and stiffening punishments."

“Literary education is of no value, if it is not able to build up a sound character.”

DEVELOPMENT OF WOMEN WITH THE HELP OF EDUCATION

Education is a kind of an institution that has an aim to progress an all round development of boys and girls. Education helps in removing ignorance. It is the only wealth that cannot be stolen by anyone else. Rather you can distribute it to everyone. Learning means that you also increase your knowledge on moral values and the improvement of character. It teaches you the methods to increase the strength of mind.

Once Jawaharlal Nehru said, "You can tell the condition of a nation by looking at the status of its women". This is absolutely true.

Kumud Sharma of the Center for Women's Development Studies in New Delhi said that. "Educated women are aware of their rights," she said. "They are no longer willing to follow commands blindly. When they ask questions, it causes conflicts, which, in turn, leads to violence. In many Indian states, working women are asked to hand over their paycheck to the husband and have no control over their finances. So, if they stop doing so or start asserting their right, there is bound to be friction."
