abstract

In India, women's access to education and empowerment are significantly influenced by the confluence of society beliefs and governmental policy. With an emphasis on Uttar Pradesh, this essay examines the steps the government has done to support women's education as well as the obstacles that social norms provide. This study uses a multidisciplinary approach to investigate how cultural attitudes and policy execution affect women's socioeconomic position. The results show notable advancements because of focused initiatives, but they also point up enduring disparities because of deeply ingrained patriarchal beliefs. There is discussion of suggestions for improving the efficacy of policies and changing public attitudes.
