Educated women in Jammu and Kashmir can play a pivotal role in all-round development of the state. Women’s education is considered as a powerful tool that changes the position of both society as well as nation. The literacy rate and education of the women of Jammu and Kashmir is far lower than national level. Poverty, ignorance of parents and lack of basic infrastructural facilities seem to be major obstacles in the attainment of gender equity in education. The present study is an attempt to study about the various women educational programmes, introduced in Jammu and Kashmir and further examines the perception of people towards schemes, satisfaction and awareness level of beneficiaries about these programmes. Moreover the present study also attempts to explore the barriers in women’s education. The data used in this study were collected from 120 respondents on simple random sampling from both rural and urban areas of district Anantnag of Jammu and Kashmir. The educational schemes and developmental programmes seems have not helped to improve the condition of females. There is an essential need to make serious efforts by government, not-for-profit organizations and other local bodies to augment the pace of development in education of the women of Jammu and Kashmir.
