It is rooted in gendered social structures rather than individual and random acts it cuts across age, socio-economic, educational and geographic boundaries affects all societies and is a major obstacle to ending gender inequality and discrimination globally. (UN General Assembly, 2006)The United Nations defines violence against women as any act of gender-based violence that results in, or is likely to result in, physical, sexual or psychological harm or suffering to women, including threats of such act s, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in public or in private life (General Assembly Resolution 48/104 Declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women, 1993).Teacher are said to be an ideal personality for the development of the nation.A well know maxim is Guru Govind dono khade kake lagu paay, Balihari Guru aapki Govind diyo batay. (Sant Kabir) Kabir wrote this verse to sing the glory of Guru, without whose help, one cannot cross this ocean of worldlylife. He asks, If both, Guru and God in form of Govind were to appear at the door, whose feet ordain I worship first? He answers, It has to be the Gurus feet first, because without him, how would I have recognized (known) God?Women constitute some half of the population of the world. Education of women is considered an important come forward in the development of the hunting lodge and if society is developed it will dart active part in the development of the nation. Women are enlightened tha n only they will able to look and fight after the negative issues faced by them in a positive manner. If each and every state of the country is schoold then only the overall growth of the country is possible.India comprises of 29 States and 6 Union Territories. Uttar Pradesh is the most populous and 4th largest state of union of India.Uttar Pradesh is located in the northern part of India. The literal meaning of Uttar Pradesh is Northern Province. With the adoption of constitution of republic India on January 26, 1950, the state of Uttar Pradesh, cultural cradle of India, came into existence. On November 9, 2000, Uttar Pradesh was divided into ii states Uttar Pradesh and Uttaranchal (later renamed as Uttarakhand) resulting in drastically altering the shape of the state. Lucknow is the administrative and legislative capital of the state while Kanpur is the financial and industrial capital. There are in total 71 districts in this state.Today scenario it this as female are taking act ive part for their empowerment but after 15 historic period it will change a lot means the issues will ontogeny and when one grows at an age of 21 she will have to face besides many issues because it will change more fast. The figures stated are administration figures and they are politically influenced and not real figures. Tangible perception is different from naturalism and how this global change is taking place females have to sue harder to match up with it.Addressing Gender Inequality to Decrease ViolenceEducational reforms can play an important role in hold opening violence against women by increasing school safety, by empowering women through education, and by promoting better attitudes and practices among students with regard to womens human rights.Gender inequality and discrimination are root causes of violence against women, influenced by the historical and structural power imbalances between women and men which exist in varying degrees across all communities in the world.Violence against women and girls is related to their lack of power and control, as well as to the social norms that prescribe men and womens roles in society and condone abuse. Inequalities between men and women cut across public and private spheres of life, and across social, economic, cultural, and political rights and are manifested in restrictions and limitations on womens freedoms, choices and opportunities. These inequalities can increase womens and girls risks of abuse, violent relationships and exploitation, for example, due to economic dependency and limited survival and income-earning options, or discrimination under the law as it relates to marriage, divorce, and child custody rights.Violence against women and girls is not only a consequence of gender inequality, but reinforces womens low status in society and the multiple disparities between women and men. (UN General Assembly, 2006)Women Education Prospects and ChallengesWomen Education is necessary because if a women is educated she would be able to empower herself for her rights, fight against discrimination, able to take decision concerning herself, contribute to economic growth of nation, will be able to face all scientific and technological changes and will participate in world politics. In spite of all these knowledge and different programs running at Central and State level the Literacy Growth of female is not up to the mark in Uttar Pradesh as per the rules of National Planning Commission. In India literacy rate is calculated if the person is able to read and write but the actual scenario is totally different because literacy is not just reading and writing but one should be able to understand all perspect. The Literacy rate of females of rural area was 36.90 percent in 2001 and 53.65 percent in 2011 which is low as compared to literacy rate of females in urban areas which was 61.73 percent in 2001 and 69.22 in 2011. Gender Inequality is seen intelligibly in Uttar Pradesh as per th e Census data of 2011 which shows that 77.28 percent of male are literate as compared to female is 57.18 percent.TABLE 1 LITERACY RATE OF UTTAR PRADESH (PERCENTAGE-WISE)YEARMALEFEMALE195119.24.1196132.18.4197135.011.2198146.716.7199154.824.4200170.243.0201177.357.2Source Different sourcesNote The literacy rate for year sooner 1981 was calculated for aged 5 year and above and from 1981 to 2011 it was calculated for 7 year and above.The above Table shows that how the literacy rate had been increased from 12.2 percent to 56.27 percent which is nearly 5 times increment but yet it is not up to the mark. The increase in male percentage is just 4 times which as compared to female is low because female percentage has risen from 4 to 57 which is a good sign but yet its below male percentage. This shows that still many females are unable to go to school i.e. the notion of gender inequality is there. So to bring equality for the developed India lot of work is to be done so that ther should be no thought of residuum between male and female and violence could be decreased.Secondly it could be clearly seen that female are unable to go to school for the basic education that how could teachers could take active part to make them aware and ready to face any kind of violence that take place with them.TABLE-2 DISTRICT WISE MALE AND FEMALE LITERACY IN UTTAR PRADESH AS PER 2011 CENSUSSL.NODISTRICTMALE LITERACYFEMALE LITERACY1Saharanpur79.77%63.30%2Muzaffarnagar79.11%60.00%3Bijnor78.70%61.45%4Moradabad66.83%49.63%5Rampur63.10%46.19%6Jyotiba Phule Nagar76.53%53.77%7Meerut82.91%65.69%8Baghpat84.17%61.22%9Ghaziabad88.16%81.42%10Gautam Buddha Nagar90.23%72.78%11Bulandshahr82.52%56.60%12Aligarh80.24%57.48%13Mahamaya Nagar83.83%60.79%14Mathura84.39%58.93%15Agra78.32%59.16%16Firozabad83.08%64.80%17Mainpuri86.93%68.35%18Budaun62.39%41.76%19Bareilly69.47%50.35%20Pilibhit73.46%52.43%21Shahjahanpur70.09%51.73%22Kheri71.58%52.62%23Sitapur72.61%52.80%24Hardoi77.20%59.17%25Unnao77.06%58.54%2 6Lucknow84.27%73.88%27Rae Bareli79.39%58.06%28Farrukhabad79.34%60.51%29Kannauj82.36%64.46%30Etawah87.64%71.16%31Auraiya87.37%71.97%32Kanpur Dehat85.27%68.48%33Kanpur Nagar85.07%76.89%34Jalaun84.89%63.88%35Jhansi86.58%64.88%36Lalitpur76.41%52.26%37Hamirpur81.27%57.19%38Mahoba77.72%54.65%39Banda79.38%54.95%40Chitrakoot77.42%54.03%41Fatehpur78.69%57.76%42Pratapgarh85.29%60.99%43Kaushambi75.35%50.76%44Allahabad85.00%62.67%45Bara Banki72.49%54.10%46Faizabad80.21%60.72%47Ambedkar Nagar83.95%64.62%48Sultanpur81.99%60.17%49Bahraich60.23%40.76%50Shrawasti59.55%37.07%51Balrampur61.66%40.92%52Gonda72.23%49.13%53Siddharthnagar73.79%49.61%54Basti80.65%58.35%55Sant Kabir Nagar80.72%56.99%56Mahrajganj77.62%50.14%57Gorakhpur84.38%61.54%58Kushinagar80.10%54.74%59Deoria86.07%61.34%60Azamgarh83.08%62.65%61Mau84.61%65.59%62Ballia85.19%61.72%63Jaunpur86.06%61.70%64Ghazipur85.77%62.29%65Chandauli83.58%63.07%66Varanasi85.12%68.20%67Sant Ravidas Nagar (Bhadohi)83.87%57.79%68Mirzapur80.83%58.77%69Sonbhadra7 7.19%54.11%70Etah83.21%61.72%71Kanshiram Nagar72.91%50.20%Source http//updateox.com/india/district-wise-male-female-literacy-rate-in-india-2011-census/ 22nd February 2014 time 816 P.MThe above table shows that there is a vast difference between the male female literacy rates of U.P and if this rate is analyzed on the basis of urban and rural population is would be looked that female literacy is very low in rural areas. Guatam Budh Nagar has highest literacy of male i.e nerly 90 percent and the female literacy there is 72 percent, the difference in the same area is so much and lowest in Shrawasti district which is 60 percent and there female literacy is 37 percent, the difference is as well as much. In case of female highest is in Ghaziabad i.e. 81 percent and there male literacy is 88 percent and lowest in Shrawasti district where female literacy 37 percent and male literacy 60 percent hence it could be seen that the difference is vast which arises the case of gender inequality. Un til and unless the thought of gender inequality could be reclusive from the mind of the hoi polloi of society it would be tough to decrease the violence against women. So, it could be said that teachers should take active part in bringing people to come to school as it could be clearly seen that the difference between male female literacy is vast, and make them aware that there is no such thought of gender inequality and train them to reduce violence and fight against violence if they come to see anywhere.ConclusionIf you educate a man you educate an individual, however, if you educate a woman you educate a whole family. Women empowered means mother India empowered. PT. JAWAHARLAL NEHRU. Education is the main source to develop a sanguine mindset to face all the good and bad things in the society. Women should be educated so that they could be able to discriminate the up and downs they come to face. Gender inequality should be treated well because if the thought of who is at a sup erior position should be erased from the mindset than the violence should be automatically decreased. Teachers should take active part in bringing female to the schools and make them aware of the negativities of the societies. Different programs are being ruined by government for the development of female but yet they are not sufficient some more action should be taken.ReferencesBhandari, S., An Analysis of Women Education In India, Education Confab, Vol.3, No.2, February 2014, ISSN 2320-009X dated twenty-third February 2014, 510 P.MEnding Violence against Women and Girls Programming Essentials, 7 June 2013- http//www.endvawnow.org/uploads/modules/pdf/1372349234.pdfEngendering Empowerment A companion volume to the E4 conferences http//www.ungei.org , United Nations Girls Education opening night April 2012Final community Total Chapter 7, Census of India 2001- http//upgov.nic.in/upecon.aspx dated 23rd February 2014, 229 P.MPopulation Stabilization in Uttar Pradesh India Past, Presen t and Future Directions- www.gillespiefoundation.org/uploads/UP_Report_Total_Pages.pdfProvisional Population Totals Chapter 7, Census of India 2001 , Series 1, India, Paper 1 of 2001Seven stories http//www.region7saicenters.org/saidocuments/Seven Stories.pdfShah, R.N., Literacy Rate in India, International Journal of Research in all Subjects in Multi Languages, Vol. 1, step up7, October 2013 , ISSN 2321 2853State Highlights (Executive Summary)- censusindia.gov.in/2011-prov-results//UP/6-exe-summery-9-11.pdfSUGUNA, M., Education And Women Empowerment In India, International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research, Vol.1 Issue 8, December 2011, ISSN 2231 5780United Nations General Assembly. 2006.
