Education is one of the most creative means of empowerment. It helps a person to realize his or her potential in a social group to achieve higher social mobility and the state to maintain good social order. Empowerment through education can also be dealt with by following a capabilities approach. Being an important component of developing capabilities, education has an intrinsic role to play in developing freedom and leaving the rest to be attained through institutional and legal means. Education is fundamental for achieving full human potential, developing an equitable and just society, and promoting national development. Providing universal access to quality education is the key to India’s continued ascent, and leadership on the global stage in terms of economic growth, social justice and equality, scientific advancement, national integration, and cultural preservation. Universal high-quality education is the best way forward for developing and maximizing India`s rich talents and resources for the good of the individual, the society, the country, and the world at large. India will have the highest population of young women in the world over the next decade, and our ability to provide high-quality educational opportunities to them will determine the future of their progress, development, and empowerment.
