Gandhiji defined education as a synchronized development of body, mind and spirit and education is the key that opens the door of good life, which is essentially a social character (Hate 1969). The level of education of women is an important indicator for the understanding of the present and future status of women in society. It is being felt that women education has not received its due attention in spite of its important role. Gandhiji has remarked long back that educating a man is educating an individual, while educating a woman is educating a family. It is universally accepted that education is a significant Instrument is improving the status of women. There is close relation between education and development. The relevance of women’s education and literacy to social, economic, cultural and political development of the individual, family community and nation is universally acknowledged. Social Status means a position in which old social, economic and psychological commitments of women prevail. Social status therefore is an indication of one’s acquired position of respect, prestige and influence in a particular social structure. The present study shows that in the upliftment of the social status of women, education plays its vital role.
