Abstract

It is true that, if a man is getting educated and empowered, only he can be benefitted however, if a woman is getting educated and empowered, the whole family and society can be benefitted. “Behind every successful man there is a woman”. Not only in the case of a man, but this saying stands for the functioning of the whole world. She is said to be the ultimate strength and support behind the success of an individual. The basic unit of society is a woman. As woman makes a family, a family makes a home and homes make a society. So we should never think that a society would come into existence without the contribution of women. She plays roles as a mother, a sister, a daughter, a wife. They play their roles with great responsibilities in the upbringing of a healthy solid society, but she is in our so called modern world, still living in chains. We all know that without education, no development is possible. Here we have forgotten that the very first and best school of a child is its mother’s lap. A good healthy society doesn’t automatically emerge on its own and stands firm but it needs to be emerged and for its emergence women play a pivotal role. From behavioural to health education women have their hands on. It’s a woman who teaches how to behave, how to speak and how to deal with different classes of people. These all are the basic fundamentals of a good society and women are the main contributors in building up a strong society.
