        abstract = {The education of women is a cornerstone of sustainable development and social progress. In West Bengal, women’s education has improved considerably over the past decades, yet inequalities persist across regional, economic, and cultural lines. This study investigates the development of inclusive and supportive learning environments for women in West Bengal, with particular emphasis on accessibility, institutional practices, government initiatives, and socio-cultural constraints. Employing a mixed-method design, both qualitative and quantitative data were collected from three districts—Kolkata, Nadia, and Purulia—representing urban, semi-urban, and rural contexts. The findings reveal that inclusive policies, digital accessibility, and teacher sensitivity substantially enhance educational participation and retention among women. However, disparities between rural and urban regions remain significant. The study recommends policy reforms focusing on infrastructure, digital inclusion, and gender-responsive pedagogy to build a more equitable educational landscape.},
