500			_awomens education and empowerment in rural India, as its title suggests, is about understanding Womens empowerment in rural India. In this extremely important book, jyotsna Jha, Neha Ghatak, niveditha Menon, Priyanka Dutta, and shreekanth mahendiran explore the pathways and roadblocks to Womens empowerment. They do this through an evaluation-centred research on mahila Sankhya in Bihar, a government of india-funded Scheme of the education Department, aimed at providing ˜education for Womens equality. The book evaluates the impact of the Scheme and its interventions on the lives of women from the most marginalised communities. It traces the meaning and the process of the various facets of empowerment as well. These include how Womens empowerment effect their mobility; savings; participation in economic activities; self-efficacy; decision-making and political participation. It also measures the intergenerational impact of empowerment, through the choices that women make about their daughters education and marriage. It also examines the way women, through the process of empowerment, are able to adjust and negotiate with dominant social institutions such as the family, and policy processes and their outcomes. In doing so, the book raises some important questions about the developmental implications of Womens education and social policy, planning and implementation. This book will be of enormous value to government departments, and all social Science departments in universities such as political Science, education, sociology, economics and gender studies.
