Women's education is a cornerstone of socio-economic development, with far-reaching implications for individual empowerment and national progress. In India, disparities in educational attainment persist, particularly among women, hindering efforts to achieve inclusive growth and gender equality. This study examines the complex interplay between women's education and economic development in India, focusing on its impact on income generation, labor force participation, health outcomes, and social empowerment. The study underscores the pivotal role of women's education in driving economic empowerment, improving maternal and child health indicators, challenging gender norms, and promoting inclusive development. Policy implications and recommendations are presented to enhance women's access to education and foster gender-sensitive educational reforms, including targeted interventions to improve school infrastructure, curriculum revision to promote gender equality, and teacher training programs to create inclusive learning environments. Moreover, avenues for future research are outlined, emphasizing the need for longitudinal studies, intersectional analyses, qualitative research, and evaluation of policy interventions to advance our understanding of the linkages between women's education and socio-economic development. By prioritizing investments in girls' education and addressing systemic barriers, policymakers can harness the transformative potential of women's education to build a more equitable and prosperous society in India and beyond.
