India is a developing country and is the largest democracy in the world. Since the day of Independence, our country has remarkable development in all the fields, and this was all possible because of the increase in education for all the genders. The gender equality took the country to new heights. Furthermore, the involvement of women in all sectors has increased the India's growth rate, whereas now women are taking over every sector of the society. This in turn helps in expanding our country's literacy rate. Without any denial, one can say that women's education is a major step toward success. Moreover, since independence, women's literacy rate has not been increasing at a considerable rate. However, there are some reasons, which prevent women from moving forward in a proper manner. Moreover, taking this scenario into account there are certain anomalies in the state of affairs of both state and central governments in accordance with taking quick steps to promote women's education. The study intends to conceptually understand the women’s education process through a critical review on education welfare schemes, especially designed for women.
