Education has been a key factor in empowering Indian women to take control of their lives. The Indian government has made significant strides in increasing access to education, particularly for girls. According to the 2011 Census, the literacy rate for women in India has risen to 65.3%, up from 51.7% in 2001. Many Indian women are now pursuing higher education and careers in various fields, including science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
