Women’s Year by the United Nations in
1975 saw the setting up of the Committee
on the Status of Women in India (CSWI)
by the Ministry of Education.

Women worked as farmers ,artisans, as
fisherwomen and as vegetable sellers.
Education should equip women and
girls for roles not merely within the
domestic sphere but build on the
substantive contributions they make in
the productive sphere.

will not only be necessary to provide for equal
opportunities for all, but also create conditions for its
success.

relevant for children of rural areas, by offering
practical subjects like animal husbandry and cattle
care as options along with subjects like history and
science.

RECOMMENDATIONS

6. NEP 2020
The Ministry of Human Resource Development
(now, Ministry of Education) recently replaced
the 34-year-old National policy on Education
(NPE), framed in 1986, with the new Education
Policy of 2020 (NEP 2020) On 29th July 2020.

7. CONCLUSION
• The National Policy on Education, {NPE (1986)},
has been hailed as a path breaking document as it
emphasized the re-orientation of the national
education system to play a ‘positive
interventionist role in the empowerment of
women.
• Coming as it did in the wake of the women’s
movement, the vision of the NPE echoed the
demand that education be ‘used as an agent of
basic change in the status of women’.
