Women constitute almost half of the population of the world. Education for women is the best way to improve the health, nutrition and economic status of a household that constitute a micro unit of a nation economy. In this context, it can be argued that lack of woman education can be an impediment to the country’s economic development. This paper aims to study the improvement of women education after independence and the policy debates on women's education and literacy rate of women since the introduction of planned development in the country. Drawing on existing literature and various statistics concerning women’s education, the paper provides an overview of the various governmental strategic initiatives regarding the improvement of women education and highlights some of the issues related to obstacles of women education and regarding suggestions to overcome these. Finally the researchers conclude that after 73 years of independence the problems of women education do not reduced completely. There were a lot of initiatives taken by the government with respect to our constitutional provisions but these were not acted purposively. Therefore some suggestions are provided.
