Indian philosophy holds that the word "PRAKRITI," which means "the Nature" or "The Creator," is a feminine one. Women enjoyed a greater standing from the Vedic era onward, as evidenced by our texts. However, women's status was actually unsatisfactory from medieval to modern India, especially during the British era. The themes of equality and accessibility have dominated schooling across time. Both males and females who have an education see gains in their incomes later on, and it also creates chances and choices for both boys and girls. Encouraging gender parity in educational establishments guarantees that people of all ages may reap the rewards of knowledge acquisition. The gender gap persists in India despite rapid economic growth and a plethora of government initiatives to promote gender equality. In addition to providing a critical analysis of Indian laws and programs pertaining to gender equality via education, this assignment aims to propose some significant steps that might further advance gender equality in the country.
