Abstract
Education is widely regarded as the lever around which any country's rapid
development revolves. We cannot raise the country's social and educational standards unless
women are educated. The aims of Women's empowerment are “to achieve higher literacy and
education levels, better health care for women and their children, equal ownership of
productive resources, increased participation in economic and commercial sectors, awareness
of their rights, improved standard of living, self-reliance, self-confidence, and self-respect
among them.”
Therefore, to see the effect of education on women empowerment empirically in the
area of investigation the study was conducted in Morsand village of Samastipur District with
an objective to understand the impact of education on empowerment of women. The
researcher selected 120 women by using simple random sampling method. Further, data was
collected with the help of an interview schedule. The data was analyzed with the help of
statistical tools like frequency, percentage, and correlation analysis. The study found that
education has a positive impact on empowering women socially, economically, politically,
and psychologically. The study further concluded with suggestions that to bring women into
the mainstream of the educational revolution; it is the duty of the government to make girls’
education accessible to all. Women candidates, particularly from rural areas should be given
preference in admission to schools and training courses. Last but not least the mindset of
society must be changed toward girls’ education.
