In this study attempt has been made to analysis the gender differences in education of Jammu and Kashmir empirically. Our study has made clear that literacy rate in 1961 was just 12.95 percent while as it reached to 55.52 percent in 2011. The decadal increment on average in the male literacy rate is about 10.88 percent which becomes clear from the equation of the trend line which is Y= 10.88 X. However, the decadal increment in the combined literacy rate on average is about 13.44 percent which becomes clear from the equation of the trend line which is Y= 13.44 X. Nevertheless, the slope of female literacy rate is lowest which is just 4.56 percent decadal Therefore, there exists a huge gender disparity in literacy rates in Jammu & Kashmir on average 20 percentage points favourable to males as compared to females. There are number of reasons which are responsible for higher male literacy rates than female literacy rates in our study areas and our study tries to explore the possible main reasons responsible for it.
