Abstract I measure the progress of a community by the degree of progress which women have achieved – Dr. B.R. Ambedkar
Education is only key instrument for bringing about a social order based on value of equality and social justice. The State’s special promotional efforts have undoubtedly resulted in educational progress for the Scheduled Caste (SC) especially in regions where policy implementation combined with the dynamism of reform, and most crucially with anticaste, dalit, and religious conversion movements. In the state is withdrawing from social sectors of education, health and delegating its social commitments and responsibilities to private agencies. There is already enough indication that basic educational needs of the SC women’s getting seriously undermined under the new dispensation adversely affecting life chances of vast sections of those who have yet to make the shift to first generation learning. Total SC population 8.6 as per the 2011, beside women constitutes 48% of the total population of India. The principle of gender equity is enshrine in Indian Constitution in its preamble, fundamental, rights, fundamental duties and directive principles and also reducing the gender gap in overall education level. But till now women especially, SC women’s facing more problems in our society because of, properly they won’t reach government policy, scheme and education. Karnataka states achievements in education have been quite remarkable, and the state is moving towards universal literacy at a steady pace. The literacy rate increased from 66.64 % in 2001 to 2011 75.6 %, with the female literacy rate increasing more swiftly than the male literacy rate. Overall, the gender disparity in literacy is declining rather perceptibly and the decline is much more evident in the less economically developed districts of the state. However, the significant point is the increase in total as well as female literacy among the SC women’s, though still at lower pace as compared to the overall population for the country. Hence, this paper is discussion in education status of rural and urban SC women in Dharwad district. A major limitation of the analysis is the inability to provide a comprehensive picture covering all states of the country. The analysis puts forward key issues that merit serious consideration as well as the major recommendations of them.
