Constraints of Rural Girl Students for Their Higher Education: A Case Study

Indian social structure is marked by inequality, injustice, discrimination, oppression, exploitation, etc., against the weaker sections, namely rural women who mostly belong to suppressed sections that constitute a considerable size of the population of the country and also in Tamil Nadu. Education is also significant in terms of the development of an individual’s level of intellectual ability, which in turn elevates the chances of employability. The financial condition of the families restricts them from pursuing higher education. Awareness about the opportunities from higher education is comparatively less in the rural areas in parents and the potential candidates of the higher education. The present study focuses on the social constraints of rural girl students for their education.
