The document discusses gender inequality in higher education in India. It provides data on enrollment in higher education from 1955-1956 to 2019-2020 which shows that while the percentage of women in higher education has increased from 14.6% to 49.09% over this period, the progress has been marginal. Although more girls are attending college now compared to boys, gender inequality still persists in higher education when compared to men. The government has introduced several initiatives to promote female education and achieve parity but more efforts are still needed especially in the fields of science, technology and decision making.
