Abstract	India is a leader in women's education, supported by a government and civil society dedicated to this vital cause. Women's education is essential for national progress and empowerment. As Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru stated, “If you educate a man, you educate an individual; however, if you educate a woman, you educate a whole family.” When women, who make up nearly half the population, are empowered, they strengthen the economy and society. Education empowers women to confront challenges and transform their lives, making it a key factor for India's aspirations to become a global superpower. It reduces inequalities, enhances women's status within families, and promotes participation. Equal access to education is a fundamental right for women. Educated women can become strong leaders and agents of change, understanding their rights and speaking out against discrimination and violence. Despite the rising rates of women's education, the status of girls' education has not met established goals. This study evaluates the current state of women's education in India, highlighting that while progress is being made, it is not occurring effectively enough. The paper draws on secondary data and information regarding women's literacy from 1901 to 2011.
