Abstract

Equal rights for empowerment are a fundamental concern in global development. Despite comprising about half of the global population and playing a vital role in the overall progress of nations, women face numerous disadvantages compared to men, particularly in the realm of education. Women were systematically deprived of equitable chances in several regions across the globe. The examination of the educational achievement of women in rural haryana might get valuable insights from a range of research articles. In India, a country characterized by male dominance, gender identity significantly influences the access to education and consequently the empowerment of women. Girls encounter numerous social and economic obstacles that impede their ability to obtain education. The disparity between genders is evident in educational achievements at different levels. The parents' attitude significantly influences the educational attainment of a female child inside the household. The employment prospects for women are contingent upon their level of education. Social and economic constraints hinder access to livelihood. In light of this context, an endeavor has been undertaken to comprehend the connections between education and employment for women in Haryana. There are two main objectives of the present study, i.e., to analyze the population characteristics and education attainment level of women in rural Haryana. Primary data for this study has been collected in a well organized manner by utilizing a qualitative research approach. Nine villages from six different districts of Haryana have been surveyed.
