Gender equality is not only fundamental human rights, but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world. Gender equality is when people of all genders have equal rights, responsibilities and opportunities. Everyone is affected by gender inequality- women, men, trans and gender diverse people, children and families. We need equality urgently, but gender equality is possible when more education is spread among women. Development is the essence of life. How much developed a country reflects the mainstreaming of its womenfolk in the process of development. Education of the women is very effective tools for women’s empowerment not only from the point of view of literacy, but has inter-linkage with other social parameters, population growth, healthcare, education of children etc. There is a strong linkage between education of women and the development of a nation. Infact women education has come to be considered more important than that the men because “if you educate a men an individual, if you educate a women, you educate the whole family’’. Women are much more vulnerable in our society. In West Bengal poor village women are deprived of not only minimum food, education and other basic amenities but also a dignity, respect and rights. The government of India and government of west Bengal are playing a significant role in reducing gender inequality and promoting women’s education. However, at present the government as well as various NGOs is playing an important role. Over the decades, various NGOs have played a vital role in promoting gender equality and women’s education across India. In this addresses the role that various NGOs in West Bengal and its own district purba bardhaman are playing in this issue. NGOs in West Bengal have been actively working for genuine social development programmes and welfare activities of urban and rural communities. NGOs are very helpful for social welfare matters, charitable purpose and support and always perform to work for the upliftment and better of the women development.
