A prerequisite for any country is its women who are entitled to live with dignity and with freedom from want and from fear. Gender equality is the need of time for complete advancement and development of a nation.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nWomen need to be empowered as they contribute to the health and productivity of their families and communities and they are the foundations of this nation and they also improve prospects for the posterity.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThough sincere efforts have been made to promote women&#8217;s education in India since independence, still we have to go miles in completing our journey. Many legislations have been passed by government concerning these problems, but they have not proved effective, still many challenges have to be faced.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nIn spite of the increase in education facilities, female literacy continues to lag woefully behind the male literacy.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nSome of the basic reasons for this failure is marriage of the girls at an early age, reluctance to send girls out of the house after puberty, lack of educational facilities in rural areas, shortage of women teachers and the mental and social attitude towards girl child that she does not require to pursue her schooling or higher education, as she could be more helpful in performing, household chores and lastly main aim is to get her married.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nLiteracy is still a far of dream for vulnerable young women of India. India is going at slow pace an still many more decades will take place to achieve female youth literacy.\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Assistant Professor Sanjay Teachers Training College, Lal Kothi, Jaipur.
