A Study on Gandhiji’s Basic Education and its Relevance in the Modern Educationijtsrd
The modern educational system which has been adopted in India is badly equipped to achieve the overall objective of humane, scientific, and peaceful social order. It does not provide them wealthy opportunities for their all round development to make them self reliant. Nowadays the students are passing examinations and earning their degrees with first or higher divisions, but most of them are unable to become self reliant and incapable to face the challenges. So, to overcome this condition Mahatma Gandhi has attempted to explore a system of education which is called 'Basic education’ or 'NaiTalim’. This system of education conforms with his philosophy of life and values. In the Basic Education system, knowledge must be related to activity and practical experience. Gandhi realized that basic education was an essential component of the structural and socio economic imbalances that were badly affected. His idea of basic education not only changed the educational system of India but also led to a social revolution. This paper aims to understand the Basic education system and its impact on the modern education system.

Women empowerment’ is the process of enabling and developing ability or potential in women so that they can think and act freely, exercises their choice and control their lives and thereby reducing discrimination and exploitation towards them. It brings about upliftment of women in social, economic and political spheres where they are able to play an equal role at par with men in society. But women who constitute half of the population in India yet they have been subjected to the oppression of patriarchal order and suffered from fewer rights and lower social status than men for centuries.
A study onwomenentrepreneurshipinharyanatheirdevelopmentandmainconstraintsAnuragSingh1049
Increased female entrepreneurial activity heralds a progress for women’s rights and optimization of their economic and social living index. Women entrepreneurship is synonymous with women empowerment. Parallel to the male counterparts, female entrepreneurs are catalytic in job creation, innovation and more than tangible contribution to the GNP of the country. An economy thrives when women get a level playing field as men. Innovation works as a catalyst or an instrument for Entrepreneurship. Indian Women, despite all the social hurdles stand tall from the rest of the crowd and are applauded for their achievements in their respective field. The transformation of social fabric of the Indian society, in terms of increased educational status of women and varied aspirations for better living, necessitated a change in the life style of Indian women. This paper endeavors to explore studies related to Women Entrepreneurship and Innovation in India. Few examples from Haryana, India have been taken to understand the study in a better way.
STRUCTURAL DEVELOPMENT AND DISPARITIES IN EDUCATIONAL ZONES: A ZONE WISE ANA...DrAarifHussainBhat
There are different indicators used to determine the quality of life in a region, education being one such
key indicator. It plays a vital role in determining the human development index (HDI) in any region. Education
and development go hand in hand and are proportional to each other. Also, education leads to development and
vice versa. As far as education is concerned, disparities occur at every level be it global, national or regional level.
A deeper analysis shows that disparities exist even at grassroots level. Same scenario is seen in India s well.
Disparities exist at various levels of educational development and efforts are on to reduce this disparity at each
level. Government from time to time comes out with policies and strategies to bridge this gap and it is yielding
better results but lot more still needs to be done. The present study is aimed at district Anantnag, J&K. In terms
of educational development, the district is not satisfactorily developed. This study analyses the zone wise
structural educational development of the district and categorizes them into moderately developed, less developed
and least developed. A number of indicators have been used to rank the respective zones with the help of Kendall’s
Rank Order Method.
DIFFERENTIAL LEVELS OF EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN DISTRICT BUDGAM, J&K: A BL...DrAarifHussainBhat
Education is one of the indicators that determine the quality of life in a particular region. It is
a key factor that that is used to measure the Human Development Index of any region. Education and
Development are two sides of the same coin and without education there will be no development. So far
as education is concerned, there exist disparities both at global and national level. A further deeper
analysis shows that inequalities exist even at the grassroots level. India too has differential levels of
educational development and there exist disparities in different regions of the country. Efforts are being
made to reduce these differences .Respective governments from time to time tried their level best to
reduce these inequalities .A lot has been achieved and a lot is yet to be achieve. The present study is
focused at district Budgam of Jammu and Kashmir. The district is one of the worst performer so far as
education is concerned. The literacy rate of the district according to 2011 census is only 57.98 which is
below both from national level and state level literacy rate. The study analyses the block wise educational
development of the district and categorizes them into moderately developed, less developed and least
developed. A number of indicators have been used to rank the blocks with the help of Kendall’s Rank
order method.
AN ANALYSIS OF TOURIST POTENTIAL AND TOURIST FLOW IN JAMMU AND KASHMIRDrAarifHussainBhat
: Tourism has an important role in the economic development of any region. It contributes to
GDP, generates employment and provides foreign exchange. So far as tourism and hospitality sectors are
concerned, they are the third largest source of foreign exchange for India. There are hundreds of tourist
places in India which are visited by millions of tourists, both national and international all through the
year. The different states of India have their own uniqueness so far as tourism sector is concerned. Jammu
and Kashmir is unique among all the places of India. Its natural beauty attracts people from all places of
the world. The slopes available at Sonamarg, Pahalgam and Gulmarg provide scope for development of
winter tourism. Bestowed with rich scenic beauty, the snow capped forests in winter draw a great chunk
of tourists from all over the world to Gulmarg the high attitude tourist resort in Kashmir valley. Both
Jammu and Kashmir divisions of the Union territory offers a wide range of places which include leisure
tourism, pilgrim tourism, adventure tourism and much more. The present study is aimed at in order to
analyze the tourist potential and tourist flow in the Jammu and Kashmir union territory.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Abstract— Women empowerment has become a significant
topic of discussion all over the Globe and has become one of
the most important concerns of 21st Century. Empowerment
of women is essentially the process of upliftment of
economic, social and political status of women, the
traditionally underprivileged ones, in the society. It involves
the building up of a society where in women can breathe
without the fear of oppression, exploitation, apprehension,
discrimination and the general feeling of persecution which
goes with being a woman in a traditionally male dominated
structure. Women empowerment refers to increasing the
spiritual, political, social, educational, gender or economic
strength of individuals and communities of women. Women
Empowerment in simple terms mean helping women to
achieve equality with men and to reduce gender
discrimination. Education acts as a powerful tool in
empowering women and enables them to respond to the
challenges, to confront their traditional role and change their
life. The government of India has implemented various
Programmes, Policies and Schemes for women
empowerment from time to time to make them at par with
men but still large women folk in our country is Illiterate and
the proof lies in census 2011, which reads that women literacy
rate in India is 65.46% while as the literacy rate of men is
82.14%. The present paper critically examines how education
and various educational Programmes can be used for women
empowerment and the role that internet is playing in
empowering the women in India with a special reference to
Kashmir (the conflicted zone).
Key words: Women Empowerment, Internet, Conflicted
Zone, Education, Discrimination
I. INTRODUCTION
Women empowerment is a burning issue and needs due
attention. History reveals that our Indian society was male
dominated and women were never considered at par with
men. If in India we want to empower women then we need
to give them the education of highest order. Various
educationists, philosophers and scholars from time to time
have laid emphasis upon women education. As Nelson
Mandela rightly said, “Education is the most powerful
weapon which you can use to change the world”. Education
is considered to be the most effective instrument for
equalizing opportunities and removing disparities among
humans. The present status of women that we see today was
not the same before independence; girls were considered to
be the curse, considered to be the burden, confined within the
four walls of the house, women were considered the property
of males and were treated as factory for producing children
and what not and what to talk about their education and
empowerment. The history also reveals that Indian women
were inhumanly treated; Sati system, Dowry, Child Marriage,
Purdah system and Widowhood were some common systems
that Indian women forcibly had to follow. The position of
women in Indian society has been extremely marginal. The
status enjoyed by women has not yet been equal to that of
men. For the society, still it is governed by religious traditions
and age-old social customs, which have deprived women
from enjoying a status equal to that of men. In fact, Indian
society has discriminated against women in every lifestyle.
Every religion has its own chain to enchain women. Women
have been prescribed in all possible manners to be well within
four walls. In India, Women mostly remained attached to
domestic and agricultural work. However, important and far
reaching efforts to emancipated women were made during the
period of freedom movement. It is during the movement that
women made their presence felt by participating in the
movement. They positively demonstrated that they were in no
way unequal to men. Many women played decisive roles in
the freedom struggle. They were considerably enlightened to
realize their potential and as a result the Indian progress
recognized equality of sexes as early as in 1931. In fact,
during the 19th
century it was considered derogatory for a
woman to take outside work as means of subsistence. Our
beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) has said that Women
have equal right of education to that of Men and should be
treated equally in the society not keeping caste, creed and
color in view as Human Beings are “Ashraful Mukhlukat”
meaning “best among all creations ever”. Our society cannot
progress until and unless women are not empowered as
Napoleon once said, “give me good mothers and I will give
you a good Nation” likewise various educationists and
scholars from time to time had their opinions about the
women empowerment, a few of them are quoted as, Manu,
the great law giver said long ago, “where women are honored
there reside the Gods”, Swami Vivekananda said, “there is no
chance for the welfare of the world unless the condition of
women is improved, and it is not possible for a bird to fly only
on one wing”.
From the above discussion it is evident that there is
a dire need to empower women and education is the sole
solution. Thus government and non-government
organizations should pay full attention for women
empowerment.
II. WOMEN EMPOWERMENT
Empowerment of women is essentially the process of
upliftment of economic, social and political status of women,
the traditionally underprivileged ones, in the society. It
involves the building up of a society where in women can
breathe without the fear of oppression, exploitation,

persecution which goes with being a woman in a traditionally

increasing the spiritual, political, social, educational, gender
or economic strength of individuals and communities of
women. Women Empowerment in simple terms mean

helping women to achieve equality with men and to reduce
gender discrimination.
III. MEANS OF WOMEN EMPOWERMENT
Education: Without proper and adequate education,
women cannot become empowered individuals. They
need to be encouraged to go for higher studies so that
they can contribute significantly in the creation of a
knowledge society
Communication Skills: Without developing skills for
effective communication, women cannot make their
voices heard. It is essential for them to communicate
effectively to become successful. As leaders, they need
to put across their points to the people so that a family,
team or company can be effectively managed.
Disposable Income: Women need to earn well to have
their say in important financial decisions governing their
lives. Being financially independent gives women power
over lives and also contributes to the growth of
businesses.
Power of Internet: Access to the internet has opened the
floodgates of knowledge and awareness and increased
social interaction reach and influence of women. The
liberalizing influence of the World Wide Web has broken
all taboos, myths and misconceptions regarding women.
IV. WOMEN EMPOWERMENT THROUGH EDUCATION
Women Empowerment is a global issue and discussion on
women political right are at the fore front of many formal and
informal campaigns worldwide. The concept of women
empowerment was introduced at the international women
conference at NAROIBI in 1985. Education is milestone of
women empowerment because it enables them to responds to
the challenges, to confront their traditional role and change
their life. So that we can’t neglect the importance of education
in reference to women empowerment India is poised to
becoming superpower, a developed country by 2020. The
year 2020 is fast approaching; it is just 03 years away. This
can became reality only when the women of this nation
became empowered. India presently accounts for the largest
number no of illiterates in the world. Literacy rate in India
have risen sharply from 18.3% in 1951 to 64.8% in 2001 in
which enrolment of women in education have also risen
sharply from 7% to 54.16%. Despite the importance of
women education unfortunately only 39% of women are
literate among 64% of the man. Within the framework of a
democratic polity, our laws, development policies, plan and
Programmes have aimed at women’s advancement in
difference spheres. From the fifth five year plan (1974 – 78)
onwards has been a marked shift in the approach to women’s
issues from welfare to development. In recent years, the
empowerment of women has been recognized as the central
issue in determining the status of women. The National
Commission of Women was set up by an Act of Parliament
in 1990 to safeguard the right and legal entitlements of
women. The 73rd and 74th Amendments (1993) to the
constitution of India have provided for reservation of seats in
the local bodies of panchayats and Municipalities for women,
laying a strong foundation for their participation in decision
making at the local level.
V. WOMEN’S EDUCATION: PROSPECTS AND CHALLENGES:
Below table shows the gender disparity in Literacy rate in
India
Year Persons Males Females
1901 5.3 9.8 0.7
1911 5.9 10.6 1.1
1921 7.2 12.2 1.8
1931 9.5 15.6 2.9
1941 16.1 24.9 7.3
1951 16.7 24.9 7.3
1961 24.0 34.4 13.0
1971 29.5 39.5 18.7
1981 36.2 46.9 24.8
1991 52.1 63.9 39.2
2001 65.38 76.0 54.0
2011 74.04 82.14 65.46
Table 1: gender disparity in Literacy rate in India
The 2001 Census report indicates that literacy
among women as only 54 percent it is virtually disheartening
to observe that the literacy rate of women India is even much
lower to national average i.e. 65.38. The growth of women’s
education in rural areas is very slow. This obviously means
that still large womenfolk of our country are illiterate, the
weak, backward and exploited. Moreover education is also
not available to all equally. Gender inequality is reinforced in
education which is proved by the fact that the literacy rate for
the women is only 54% against 76% of men as per 2001
Census and literacy rate for women is only 65.46 % against
82.14% of men as per 2011 census.
VI. EDUCATIONAL PROVISIONS IN THE INDIAN
CONSTITUTION FOR WOMEN EDUCATION
The constitution of India not only grants equal status to
women but also empowers the State to adopt measures of
positive discrimination in favor of women for neutralizing the
cumulative socio economic, education and political
disadvantages faced by them.
Fundamental Rights, among others, ensure equality
before the law and equal protection of law; prohibits
discrimination against any citizen on grounds of religion,
race, caste, sex or place of birth, and guarantee equality of
opportunity to all citizens in matters relating to employment.
Article 21A: The State shall provide free and compulsory
education to all children of the age of six to fourteen
years in such manner as the State may, by law, determine.
(Eighty Sixth Amendment Act, 2002)
Article 41: Right to work, to education and to public
assistance in certain cases. The State shall, within the
limits of its economic capacity and development, make
effective provision for securing the right to work, to
education and to public assistance in cases of
unemployment, old age, sickness and disablement, and
in other cases of undeserved want.
Article 45: Provision for free and compulsory education
for children. (1) The State shall endeavor to provide,
within a period of ten years from the commencement of
this Constitution, for free and compulsory education for
all children until they complete the age of fourteen years.
(2) The State shall endeavor to provide early childhood
care and education for all children until they complete

the age of six years. (Eighty-Sixth Amendment Act,
2002)
Article 46: Promotion of educational and economic
interests of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and
other weaker sections. The State shall promote with
special care the educational and economic interests of the
weaker sections of the people, and, in particular, of the
Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes, and shall
protect them from social injustice and all forms of
exploitation.
Article 51A (k): Who is a parent or guardian to provide
opportunities for education to his child or, as the case
may be, ward between the age of six and fourteen years.
(Eighty-Sixth Amendment Act, 2002).
The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory
Education Act, 2009, commonly known as the Right To
Education (RTE) Act, is being seen with much hope to
bring about the long awaited changes in education of
children aged 6-14 years, addressing disparities of access
and quality. The Act was notified on 27.8.2010 and is in
force from 1.4.2010. While stating the duties of
appropriate Government authorities at various levels, the
Act has also included duties of parents and guardians to
get their children /wards admitted for elementary
education in neighborhood schools. The biased parental
attitude towards girl child in general and to education of
girl’s child in particular will hopefully register a change
by enforcement of the Act.
VII. INTERNET AS A TOOL OF EMPOWERMENT
Internet in the 21st
century has also become one of the
powerful tools of empowering women. The introduction of
World Wide Web has open the gates for women online
activism on social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter,
and Instagram etc. Through these social networking sites,
women are able to empower themselves by organizing and
voicing their opinions for equality rights without feeling
oppressed by the members of the society. To quote an
example, an online campaign was started by 100 female
advocates on 29 May 2013 against certain Facebook pages
which spread hatred among women and they were successful
in bringing them down. Moreover with the help of e-learning
it is easy for women now to study from the comfort of their
homes. By empowering themselves educationally through
new technologies like e-learning, women are also learning
new skills that will come in handy in today's advancing
globalized world.
VIII. WOMEN EMPOWERMENT WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO
KASHMIR
Jammu and Kashmir is one among the 29 states of India.
Kashmir is known for its beauty all over the world. Various
Saints, Sufis, Kings and other reputed persons from time to
time have said if there exists heaven on earth, it is here, it is
here and it is here. Jammu and Kashmir is a conflicted
territory between India and Pakistan. On the one side India
claims Jammu and Kashmir as its integral part and on the
other side of the coin Pakistan professes that it belongs to
them and in between it is the people of Kashmir who are
suffering. In the recent past Kashmir has remained in the
news for all wrong reasons, be it killings, shutdown, curfews,
cold blooded murders, extortions, rapes, pellet gun victims
etc. etc. From 7 July 2016 to till date it is the Kashmir and
Kashmiri people who have suffered badly. The following
table depicts the whole story.
Civilian Killings 157
Civilians Injured 17650
Eye Injuries 1860
Eye Sight Lost 825

Table 2: present position of Kashmir
The above table clearly depicts the present position
of Kashmir, in such an environment where people see less
water and more blood flowing, the empowerment of women
still remains a dream. The Government of India, State
Government and Non-Government Organizations should
play an active role in empowering the women in this
conflicted zone. They should launch special educational
Programmes, schemes and policies to empower the women of
Kashmir as well.
IX. CONCLUSION
Women Empowerment helps to make the society and world
a better place to live in and march forward on way to inclusive
participation. It means increase happiness for the family and
the organizations where women make a difference.
