This survey report summarizes the results of interviews conducted with students and staff at Lovely Professional University to understand their views on the role of women's literacy and development. The interviews found that poverty is a major barrier to women's education, as are early marriage and parental negligence. While most female respondents faced obstacles in continuing their education after marriage, some were able to complete their education with support from parents and husbands. Cultural norms were also identified as historically discouraging girls' education, though attitudes are changing, especially among middle-class families who see value in daughters' education.

Women Leading Growth: An Empirical Analysis on the Effects of Women in Leader...Avril Espinosa-Malpica
UBC Economics 490: Seminar In Applied Economics Research Essay
250 years ago the wealthiest country was at most four times richer than the poorest country. Today the richest country is almost 100 times richer than the poorest. In this seminar, I tried to answer this question: Why have some countries grown so quickly over the long run while others have stagnated? To answer this, I focused on understanding and interpreting the effects of women in leadership positions on GDP through economics.
Parents Attitude towards Girl Child Education: A Sociological Study of HaryanaRHIMRJ Journal
Girls and boys have the same rights to get a quality education. But the ‘gender gap’ becomes painfully evident when
looking at who is in the classroom. Girls lag behind than boys at all levels of formal education in Haryana. Enrolment,
retention, transition and achievement rates for girls are always lower than that of boys. This means that even many of the girls
who are enrolled in school do not complete Secondary School education. There is the strong belief that negative parental
attitude must be blamed for the low level education of girls. The purpose of the present study was, therefore, to assessing
current parental attitude towards the education of girls children. The study analyzed the data from 50 parents, who had one or
more than one school going children. Out of these, 20 parents belonged to upper caste families, 15 parents belonged to middle
caste families and 15 parents belonged to lower caste families. The age range of the sample was 18-50 years, and they all
belonged to Bohar village of Rohtak District. 20-item questionnaire schedule was used for collecting data. The findings
showed that the overall attitude of the respondents was moderately favorable and positive towards schooling and education of
their children. The study reflects that generally parents would want to educate both boys and girls, however when there are
other demands on the family's resources that the education of the girl child is considered a secondary issue.

Sustainable Development of Women:The Need of SocietysonaliChannawar
In this modern era of socio-economic development, promoting and developing social entrepreneurship by both men and women will only strengthen economy of any country. Why women empowerment is more focused than men is because it is one way to get the underprivileged as well reasonably privileged women to come to realize their skills, worth and potential in this male dominated society. Although things have changed recently, as most women through education and family support have realized their potential and have accomplished their dreams. Current situation of life changing the pattern for living and society can change the rituals, style, living standard according situation what the people do. Women is the integral part of society as playing role of mother, teacher sister, wife and social worker. Women always ready to work equal with men but sometimes men are not ready to work with her. Give respect and rewards for her sacrifices and taking care of all. Women, who make up half of the world population, have benefited more than men from the progress in economic and social development in the last three decades (UNECE, 2012).

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.

This survey aims to enquiry the role of education in the empowerment of women. In an
exhaustive survey comprising on the basis of 50 sample question the article tries to extract the
status of women, men, attitude towards girls‟ education in society, problems hindering the
education of women, the importance of marriage in women’s life affecting education as well
as the empowerment of women. The article also highlights that educated and economically
empowered women have said a firm no to the prevalent cruelty of the dowry, thus directly
bearing the fruit of economic empowerment. Finally some recommendations have been made
to remove the practice of intra-household and social discrimination of girl child and women.
Empowerment through education has emerged as the only way to put an end to the horrors of
dowry, as established by the survey.
Keywords: Women, discrimination, dowry, education, economic empowerment, survey
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
‘There isn’t single country in the world-not one-where men and women enjoy completely equal
opportunity… that is why we must change attitudes and policies. The aim must be to give each
and every human being greater freedom to make choices about their own lives....’
-Gro Harlem Brundtland
World Conference on Women, Beijing, 2006
1. Education gives personal benefits for the individual in terms of self-confidence leading to
motivation and interests in society. Social interactions are easier when persons are capable of
reading a newspaper about social and political issues in the community and the rest of the
World.
2 Education gives access to a wider range of job opportunities and in general enables persons
to take advantage of economic opportunities and to participate in local politics.
3. A higher literacy rate facilitates public debates and demands for health care, social security
and other needs. Public discussions enable people to hold politicians accountable for their
promises of improvements in the social service sector. Information on one’s society provides
better possibilities for utilizing the service system.
4 Education indirectly prevents child labour, to the extent that implementation of legislation of
basic education for all children, force parents to send their children to school which again gives
less time for labour. Entering school broadens horizons for young people. This means that
meeting other children and young people could result in new ideas of different opportunities in
the future.
5. Effect of education and literacy enables oppressed groups in a society to become politically
organized. Being a larger group makes it easier 31 to insist on ones rights and demands
concerning social and politically issues. An organized group achieves visibility in the society
and is harder to oppress. The ability to resist operation not only concerns disadvantaged groups
in society, but education does also have positive effects within families when girls are being
educated (Dreze & Sen. 2002). By Dreze and Sen

INRODUCTION
Women education refers to every form of education that aims at improving the
knowledge, and skill of women and girls. It includes general education at schools and colleges,
vocational and technical education, professional education, health education, etc. Women
education encompasses both literary and non-literary education.
Educated women are capable of bringing socio-economic changes. The constitution of almost
all democratic countries, including India, guarantees equal rights to both men and women.
Primary education is now a fundamental right. When a woman (or a girl) is ensured of her
rights, the society at large is ensured of its sustainability. Realizing the importance of women
education, the government and many non-government organizations took a lot of projects to
spread women education. Literacy programs are being taken in favour of women.
The importance of women education are briefly summarized below:
1. Economic development and wealth:
Education will empower women to come forward and contribute towards the development and
prosperity of the country.
2. Economic empowerment:
So long as women remain backward and economically dependent on men, the helpless
condition of them cannot be changed. Economic empowerment and independence will only
come through proper education and employment of women.
3. Betterlife:
Education helps a woman to live a good life. Her identity as an individual would never get
lost. She can read and learn about her rights. Her rights would not get trodden down. The life
or condition of women would improve a lot, if we take a broad outlook in the field of female
education.
4. Betterhealth:
Educated girls and women are aware of the importance of hygiene. Through health education,
they are empowered to lead a healthy life-style. Educated mothers can take better care of both
herself and her baby.
5. Self-respectandrespect:
Educated women are now looked upon with dignity and honour. They become a source of
inspiration for millions of young girls who make them their role-models.
6. Fairness:
Educated women are more informed of their rights for justice. It would eventually lead to
decline in instances of violence and injustice against women such as dowry, forced-
prostitution, child-marriage, female foeticide, etc.
4. Page 4 of 21
7. Choice to choosea professionof her choice:
Educated women can prove be highly successful in the fields of life. A girl-child should get
equal opportunity for education, so that, she can plan to become a successful doctors, engineers,
nurses, air-hostesses, cook, or choose a profession of her choice.
8. Improve poverty:
Women education is a pre-requisite to alleviate poverty. Women need to take equal burden of
the massive task of eliminating poverty. This would demand massive contribution from
educated women. There cannot be much social and economic changes unless girls and women
are given their rights for education. There was a time when people thought that it was not
necessary to educate girls. Now we have begun to realize that girls’ education is essential. The
modern age is the age of awakening of girls. They are trying to compete with men in all spheres
of life. There are many people who oppose girls’ education. They say that the proper sphere of
girls is the home. So, they argue that the money spent on girl’s education is wasted. This view
is wrong, because girl’s education can bring about a silent resolution in the society. There is
several advantage of girls’ education. Grown up educated girls can play an important role in
the development of their country.
They can share the burden of men in the different walk of life. They can serve the society as
teachers, lawyers, doctors and administrators. They can work at banks, hospitals, government
offices and large businesses. They can play an important role during war. Education is a boon
to girls in this age of economic crisis. Gone are the days of plenty and prosperity. Now-a-days
it is difficult for the people of the middle class to make both ends meet. After marriage,
educated girls can add to the income of their husbands. If a woman is educated, she can earn a
living after the death of her husband. Girls’ education is necessary for making our homes happy
places. Our home life would be brightened if we had well-educated wives and mother.
Educated girls can brighten the future of their country by the good upbringing of their children.
Education gives a woman freedom of thought. It broadens her outlook and makes her aware of
her duties and responsibilities. Education empower a grown up girl to become economically
independent. They will be able to stand up for their rights. Girls have all the rights to get
educated. Empowerment of girls and women is necessary to fight against the problem of
gender-inequality. Education of rural girls is equally important. The rural girls are not getting
ample opportunity for education. Education of these girls would have positive impact on both
economy and society.

Methodology
Personal interviews were conducted to find out the role of women literacy and
development with respect to the views of the youth. The survey took place in Lovely
Professional University over a period of one months (October- November) in the year 2016.
Campus has an area of 600acr.It is situated in the Phagwara, Jalandhar, Punjab. Its total
population of student & staff is 48, 1603 (appx.). I had personally visited with 2men and
1women all the block of campus in LPU. The answers of the study are organized from personal
interviews with respondents, by using a prepared questionnaire. Raw data relating to the 3 men
and 1women have been analysed and grouped. The language spoken in LPU therefore the
interviews were mostly conducted in different languages as per the university point of view
actually what they are thinking on women literacy and highly educated also chose to give their
answers in English (which is a common language used in LPU i.e. we opted ). The respondents
were chosen randomly from the entire university. In LPU mostly dominated by different
religion and different country students. Data was collected by random pick of students as well
as staff member on that basis we done our survey.
Participants
In this survey I collected information from both the male & female, that what they are
thinking about women literacy and development. There were 55% female and 45% male
respondents. Respondents of this survey are from different economic divisions as well as
representing different educational levels. I had the opportunity to interview some people on the
basis of different age group that what they think about women literacy and development and
with respect this, our team member divided survey on different aspect (culture, experience,
poverty, literacy, education & co-education, marriage, income).Even though, we had prepared
a questionnaire, often free discussions emerged particularly with the issues surrounding the
birth of a girl child, the status of women in society, respondent’s own status and problems faced
in the home as well as in society. Other discussions included the view that dowries are an in
human demand with negative effects on poor families, girls of marriageable age, on the right
of parental property, domestic violence and sexual harassment. Thus, although I went there to
complete a questionnaire, as I moved through the university, I could see the real problems and
poverties they faced. Though most of these women were illiterate or educated up to primary
level, the progression in rational and simplicity was shocking and an appreciation opening for
me. Most of them were extremely vocal against the dowry system. It was clear response that
uneducated village women suffered more than the educated and economically independent
women. But as the subsequent discussion will show, almost all female as well as male also
opined against the dowry system irrespective of class, educational qualification, caste and
religion.
6. Page 6 of 21
Survey results: priorities in general education
The reason for this preference, as narrated by the respondents, is that it is
the social rule that boys must become economically independent. Families place the most
importance on the marriage of their girls. When I asked some of the female’s the reasons for
illiteracy, they responded that it was because of their parent’s negligence that they never had
been to school. The same parents have, however taken many pains to send their sons to school.
According to these respondents, their parents never felt the need for their girls to get educated.
These women, a victim of their parental neglect, told me that they feel very embarrassed when
they are unable to help their small children in their present educational pursuits, however, that
a majority of the female’s expressed a deep interest in educating their daughters And they also
said that income of a family is also one of the major cause which effect the women literacy and
development. We have seen and sensed during the survey.

RESPONDENTS’ COUNTINUING “EDUCATION”
Problems affecting women’s education
The findings of the survey show that even at the primary level of education
poverty is the most important factor shaping opportunities for women’s education. Two of the
elderly respondents mentioned that they worked as domestics to obtain their primary education.
She and her sister faced severe economic problems as well as parental carelessness in their
childhood which deterred them from getting an education. Today they are extremely interested
in educating their grand-daughters. Other problems which discouraged women from getting an
education, as mentioned by the respondents, are parental negligence and early marriage
(TABLE 1). Responsibilities for the family or the death of mother or father also emerged as
reasons for the compulsory failure from school at an early age as girl children had to take care
of their younger brothers. Many poor, uneducated people do not attribute much importance to
the education of girls. Early marriage is another common feature leading parents to withdraw
their girls from school, and once they are gone, very few girls return to school, according to a
senior teacher. In a hurry to get them married, some girls fell into the wrong hand. As a result
they have to suffer a broken marriage at a very small age. Thus, economic problems are the
main burden put off women from getting an education, coupled with early marriage and
parental negligence playing an important part in the ultimately declining status of women.

Respondents continuing “MARRIAGE”
Even though few girls return to school once they are married, as they age, the goal of obtaining
an education increases. The surveys indicated a number of female decided to continue with
their education. But for the majority (53 percent) of the female, it was not possible for them to
complete their education up to their satisfaction. Female had to stop their studies just on the
ground of getting married. At the same time amongst female (65 percent) who decided to
pursue their studies after marriage, a majority of them were forced to quit halfway. This
discloses the badly low importance of education of a woman in her family. Among all
respondents only 47 percent of female could complete their education satisfactorily after
marriage. Though the percentage is lower than the female who could not complete their studies
sensibly, this does prove some changes in the understanding and attitude towards women’s
education. This is a positive sign where in the LPU has changed for better. (Table 2)
Source of help to complete education for married women
Most of the women who continued their education and completed it satisfactorily,
obtained help mainly from their parents and husbands (31.3% both). They were determined to
fulfil their dreams (31.3%). A very few female cited that they got help from their parents-in-
laws (6.3%). So far, surveys show that parents and husbands have been the constant source of
support for many female in completing their education, a very positive sign.

Respondents’ continuing “CULTURE”
As we all know that in 17th century, there were a number of schools dedicated to girls, but the
cultural norm was for girls to be informally educated at home. But in 18th century, there was
an increase in the number of girls being educated in schools. It is in especially true for middle-
class families whose rising financial status and social objectives made if an upper-class style
of education for their daughters both needed and probable.
In this survey it was shown that what they are thinking about culture considering women
literacy and development (table 3)

Respondents’ continuing “DISCRIMINATION”
It means that gender based discrimination against female children is universal across the world.
It is seen in all the layers of society and various forms. In the poetry, female child has been
treated inferior to male child and this is deeply counted in the mind of the female child. Some
reason that due to this inferior treatment the females fail to understand their rights. This is more
major in India as well as other lesser developed countries (table 5).As per the data available
there seems to be gender difference depending on the location. But in LPU (on the basis of
survey, which we opted). In this there is less discrimination in this university as it was shown
in table as well as graph.

Respondents’ continuing “POVERTY”
Several factors affect the feminization of poverty and these factors place women at high risk
of poverty. Low income is the major cause, there are many interrelated facts of this problem.
Only mothers at the highest risk for risky poverty because their income is insufficient to end
children. It then lowers their children's chances for good education and food. Low income is a
significance of the social preference women face in trying to obtain formal employment, which
in turn extends the cycle of poverty. As the number of women in poverty increases, the various
causes affecting their poverty must be examined. Poverty is multidimensional and therefore
economic, demographic and socio-cultural factors all overlap and contribute to the
establishment of poverty it is an occurrence with multiple root causes and indexes. (TABLE 6)
This is self-explained by the questionnaire as well as table and graph that how many persons
are in support and how many are in unsupported.

CONCLUSION
Overall this study confirms that women’s status is lesser to men. Women face discrimination
within families as well as in society, where society maintains double standards in the case of
education, marriage, spousal relationships, domestic violence, laws of male-controlled society,
property laws, dowry system, sexual ethics, sexual harassment as well as discriminatory social
dishonour and also less recognition and respect for women’s work.
Implications
The survey indicates that prevailing intra-household discrimination in educational matters for
girls and women perseveres. Therefore, a strong message needs to be conveyed in support of
education and economic empowerment as equally important for both the sexes. Education
emerges as the single most important parameter empowering women. Education forms the way
for economic empowerment and raises the status of women. Reducing the gender gap in
secondary and higher education should be the focus area. Marriage only at mature, legal age is
also essential. Women should get married only after receiving an education or after acquiring
some skill, which can make her economically independent. The survey suggests that there
should be more importance placed on the economic empowerment of women. As women rise
in economic status, they will gain greater social standing in the household and the society
permitting better voice in important issues. Not only does economic empowerment support the
position of women, it serves as a warning to dowries. The parental property should be
distributed to sons and daughters on an equal basis so, the responsibility of looking after parents
falls to all issues. As women’s economic power grows, it will be easier for them to take care
of their parents, to become a respectable member of their birth family, and to overcome the
tradition of "son preference."
By Shikhar Maurya
Until the middle of nineteenth century, girls and women were educated only for
traditional household works. Now, the society is witnessing changes in the role-status of
women. There is greater emphasis on education girls and women in the same way as we educate
boys and men. The modern-day parents want to fulfil the aspiration of their children without
gender parity. The educated women should insist on exercising their civil, social, political and
economic rights. This will help improve the overall condition of women in the society. We can
hope for better days while all women of our country will be enlightened and educated.

Literacy for girls has very far reaching implications both for society as well as the
recipient girl. Literacy for girls is a crucial input for developing/preserving human resource
development, which in the ultimate analysis is a national asset. As far the individual recipient
girl, literacy/education equips her to enjoy the fruits of social justice, social culture and of
social, political and economic rights. Such are the lofty ideals of girls' literacy and in all right
earnest steps have been taken by the Union and State governments to realize them in practice.
And yet, the ground realities of achieving the goal of universalization of education differ from
State to State and from various strata of society to society. Thus, there exists in India now a
dichotomy of 'educationally forward States' and 'educationally backward States'

Based on the research findings, it is concluded that our, society with an aging population, that
will make larger demands upon the nation’s resources, needs youthful population of females
that value and pursue education to create conducive environment for good economic welfare,
political and social stability that will pave way for growth and development. Female students
should enjoy free education at all levels. This exercise serves as great motivation that will give
better opportunities for learning in our society as females are to be molded for embracing
challenges and treating them intelligently for a better nation.
