C. Read the essay on the topic ‘Women Education in India’.

Women Education in India
The women education in ancient India was quite good, but in the middle age it deteriorated
because of many restrictions against women. However, it is improving with each day as modern
Indians understand that without the growth and development of women, the development of
a country is not possible. It is true that equal growth of both genders will increase the economic
and social development in every area of the country.
Women should be given equal opportunity in education like men, and they should not be
isolated from any developmental activities. Through women education, the social and economic
development will be faster in India. To spread the importance and to improve the level of
women education all over the country, countrywide national awareness programmes are very
necessary. An educated woman can educate her whole family and thus the whole country.
