The problem of women’s education in India is one which attracts our attention immediately. In our country, due to conservative traditionalism, women’s status has been considered to be lower than that of men since ages.

Even today, in spite of the recognition of women’s status equal to that of men, the majority of them suffer in primitive ignorance as ever before.
