Abstract Education of women in particular is important for the development of a society. This is not only because women constitute half of the population and therefore they naturally have a right to education but also because women’s education has far reaching impact on the society as a whole. India is a country with diversities inhabiting various ethnic, cultural, linguistic and religious groups. After Independence, much emphasis was given to women’s education, including Muslim women. Past researches on socio-economic profile of Muslims confirm that Muslims, especially women, remain socially, economically and educationally backward. The committee has clearly revealed that only 4 per cent Muslim population is educated and it is the most educationally and economically backward minority in the country. According to Census 2011 in Birbhum district 37.71% population is belongs to minority section and out of this 37.06% are Muslim population. The literacy rate of Muslim female is 57.47% while the literacy rate of female in general is 64.14%. The research paper tries to reveal the distribution of Khayrasole Block in Birbhum District, educational level of Muslim women, literacy rate of Muslim women, male-female literacy gap, and highlights the schemes initiated for the development of Muslims woman’s education. The present paper also tries to analyse the leading problems of the study and give some suggestions for accelerating the degree of the educational level and harmonious development of Islamic society.
