Abstract
Uplift of women means development of women. Development is a total process in which all aspects of human life; aspirations, education, health and nutrition are involved and evaluated on the touch-stone of economic growth and quality of living process. It is the evolution of art of living and working together in a community. Without the uplift of women, modernization is impossible. The position of women was, in general, secondary throughout the world prior to our contemporary times. But the degree of their subjugation varied from place to place and time to time. Women in India were denied even the personal rights till the 19th century. Though evidences of intellectual eminence in women could and traced in ancient literature, they are only few and far between. Indian history has on record only the deep rooted prejudice against all privileges for women.
