Abstract

Education is considered as one of the most powerful instruments of social change and control. Education can remove darkness of ignorance and narrow-mindedness of human mind and infuse new ideas, new light and new direction for change and development. Due to conservative traditionalism, the standing of women has always been viewed next to than that of men in our nation. Because of the reliance of women on males for financial support (families did not think it is important to provide education to girls), they were mostly seen as subservient to men. In Indian society, well known for its cultural diversity, we can see sharp multiple inequalities and disparities in education and economic development in terms of caste, creed, tribe, religion and gender despite prolonged struggle and affirmative action by the state to reduce social inequalities in independent India. But in spite of constitutional provisions, policies, and programmes in favour of women, increase of literacy rate and promotion of girl’s education, many social evils practices and customs still exist in our society which prevents girl from availing opportunities available for them. girls in general, constitute the most deprived and disadvantaged section of Indian society who have always faced multiple barriers in getting educational opportunities. In independent India, however, girls have made significant strides by entering in every field of education. Even then, a large number of women especially who reside in rural area remain restricted to vicious circles of family expectations, gender discrimination and stigma. Available literature reveals an increase in women literacy rate in the last few decades but still there is a wide gap between boys’ and girls’ literacy rate. The rural girl’s literacy rate in J&K as per 2011 census report is 53.36 percent and for urban females is 70.19 percent when compared to earlier in the Census of 2001 was 36.7% at rural and 61.9% at the urban level, respectively. Within Jammu and Kashmir rural- urban differentials in terms of literacy rate are quite wide. Literacy rate is quite high in districts with higher urban population which are concentrated mostly in plain areas as compared to those districts which are primarily mountainous and have low level of urbanisation. The present study attempt to analysed the educational status of girls in rural areas of ramban district.

Abstract

The practice of paying dowry is widespread throughout Jammu & Kashmir, especially in the district of Jammu. Daughters became a curse and a liability for their parents, which resulted in severe repercussions. In India, the practice is banned or limited by the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961, which was extended to the Union territory of Jammu and Kashmir after the abrogation of Article 370. Even though the law protects it, the tradition has grown. Dowry appears to be increasing as a result of changes in lifestyle and social trends. To find out what men and women think about dowry, how it affects people, why it's important, and how it affects women's rights and, in the long run, their freedom. A qualitative study was carried out. Men and women, including social activists, economists, and married couples, were asked about wedding costs, demands, social pressure, men's support, and how they felt about dowry, especially in terms of women's rights in unstructured interviews. The study found that a large dowry, especially in the form of furniture, electronics, kitchenware, a car, a fully furnished house, and cash, was strongly linked to women's growth and rights. The widespread belief among individuals is that the practice of paying a dowry is no longer considered to be a custom or tradition. It's just a trend, but many are following it as a sign of respect for women and mothers in particular.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Women are becoming the victims due to domestic violence, social practices, armed conflict, and militancy in the state. They are not only suffering from penetrating humiliation and harassment but also suffering from shocking experiences with continued depression that left them mentally ill. The conflicting situation in Jammu and Kashmir has snatched the women’s right and hit their hardship. No one knew how many women became widow and also having the responsibility of upbringing their children. The researcher used the secondary sources of data and came to the conclusion that women in many regions of Jammu and Kashmir are still facing the issues and challenges related to education, health, domestic violence, politics, declining sex ratio, state violence, dowry harassment, eve teasing, unequal wage, child labour and female feticide and infanticide etc. To overcome these issues central government, state government and NGOs should work together for the empowerment of women in Jammu and Kashmir.
