| Article Name : | | | THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WOMEN EMPOWERMENT AND EDUCATIONAL ACHIEVEMENT OF GIRLS' IN THE STATE OF WEST BENGAL | | Author Name : | | | Nandini Chakraborty | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | GRT-4364 | | Article URL : | |  | Author Profile View PDF In browser | | Abstract : | | | It could be predicted that the higher status of women in the region implies higher schooling performance and lower educational inequality. This paper tries to investigate this perceived interlinkage through different dimensions of girls' education in the state of West Bengal. The findings are based on the secondary data given in various government reports, periodicals etc. The main techniques adopted, here, are tabular representation of the data, dimension index and matrices formulation and some elementary level statistical methods. We do not find any unique relationship between women empowerment and girls' education as specified by earlier research rather a complex heterogeneous relationship has been detected for the state of West Bengal where many underdeveloped districts (interms of women wellbeing index and per capita NDDP) performed at par with their developed counterpart. Therefore, it is very necessary to investigate why, despite their economic and social exclusion in less developed regions, the girls' are induced to continue education. | | Keywords : | | - Cultural-social Conditions,
