  • Abstract:
  • Women’s education in India has undergone significant transformation over the past seven decades, yet deep-rooted gender disparities persist. While constitutional provisions and policy interventions such as Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, and National Education Policy 2020 have expanded access, socio-economic and cultural barriers still restrict equal participation. The rise of digital learning, accelerated by technological advancement and post-pandemic adaptation, offers new pathways for inclusion and empowerment. This paper critically examines the current status of women’s education in India, explores the determinants of gender disparity, and evaluates the potential of digital transformation in bridging the education gap. Drawing insights from government data, scholarly literature, and recent developments in e-learning, it argues that digital education represents both a challenge and an opportunity for gender equity in India’s knowledge economy.
