Abstract: Women empowerment, referring to the empowerment of women in our present society, has become a significant topic of discussion in regards to development and economics. It can also point to approaches regarding other marginal genders in a particular political or social context. While often interchangeably used, the more comprehensive concept of Gender empowerment refers to people of any gender, stressing the distinction between biological sex and gender as a role. It thereby also refers to other marginalized genders in a particular political or social context. In India, there are still illiterate and poor village women financially dependent on their family members, even though they are hard working and have their own abilities to be financially self-dependent. Still, they won't get any good job and no financial support to start their own household businesses. The subject of empowerment of women has becoming a burning issue all over the world including India since last few decades. Many agencies of United Nations in their reports have emphasized that gender issue is to be given utmost priority. It is held that women now cannot be asked to wait for any more for equality. Inequalities between men and women and discrimination against women have also been age-old issues all over the world. Thus, women’s quest for equality with man is a universal phenomenon. “Men’s jobs and Women’s jobs”, How can the areas of employment found throughout the world be divided into female and male occupations when certain types of work always done by men in some countries are just as regularly done by women in others? With increasing literacy among women in India, their entry into many types of work, formerly the preserve of men, women can now look upon the bearing and raising of their children not as a life’s work in itself but as an episode. It women have started taking men’s work, it could be said that men have taken over women’s. Key words: Education, Empowerment, India, Men, Women
