The gender bias in educational attainment results from the discriminatory attitudes towards the girl child and their education. A number of studies have shown that societies and families are immensely benefitted when women are educated. In Arunachal Pradesh, educational infrastructures continue to be inadequate, however, its expansion, particularly since the 1980s, has been remarkable. Though gender bias can’t be denied in the case of Arunachal’s education the recent trend and progress in women’s education in the state show great promises in the days to come. The present paper is an attempt towards understanding the status, problems, opportunities, challenges, and viable measures related to women’s higher education in Arunachal Pradesh- a tribal-dominated state of mountainous eco-system. The basic consideration of the paper stands at “women’s education: society’s pride”.
