Empowerment of Indian Women

At present the great task before us is the task of nation building. This task cannot be achieved unless the women of our society share the work in an effective manner. The essential and indispensable contribution of the womenfolk can be expected only when they received qualitative education, employment & training and they got enriched, enlightened and empowered. Thus, education is essential to empower the women. The ultimate solution to wipe out the crimes against women is to empower them through education. Women empowerment aims at eliminating discrimination and challenging gender inequality. A high standard of learning and culture was reached by Indian women during the Vedic age. The idea of Indian civilization continued to flourish as India transcended its journey from Ancient to Medieval to Modern times. The book on “Empowerment of Indian Women” contains 9 chapters relating to various conceptual and qualitative issues on women’s studies. This book is very informative, intellectually stimulating and interesting. The need for such a comprehensive document was always felt in our country but was never fulfilled. With this book, the author has fulfilled this long-felt need by bringing out different aspects and dimensions of women’s studies, particularly in the Indian context. Hopefully, this document will serve as an essential text-cum- reference tool not only for professionals working in the field of education but to the policy planners and administrators as well. It will also be a useful document for the parents, community members and the lay persons. This book will be a valuable addition in any library for B.Ed./M.Ed./Diploma in Special Education/M.A. Psychology/M.A. Education/MSW/ M.Sc. Child Development /MA Women’s Studies/ MA Sociology/M Phil Women’s Studies /Diploma students in all Indian Universities.
