This is because in India, men were only allowed to work and study and no attention was paid to the women as they made them work as a customer of kitchen only so those ideas are still caried out in some less developed areas of our country thus women are less educated than men in India.

It's not the fault of women to be less educated than Men. It is our society which dominates the woman education. Parents are afraid to send their girl child to school & college because of things happen to them outside in our society.

To get the Answer. Firstly, you should get some information about history. India is a country a great culture, A culture which pays too much respect to Women, infact they are treated as goddess. But during the passage of time due to Politics, Personal Gains and foreign Invasions this glory gradually faded away. And Women soon started loosing their status in society. As a result, gradually they were just confined to Homes doing Household works, etc. Thus got away from outside world and in turn "EDUCATION" But, now-a-days times are changing. Women are proving their mettle in every sphere of life such as Education, Research, Films, Sports, etc. And even Govt. has now started promoting their well being under "Beti Bachao beti padhao Yojana".. Any Querries?? Feel Free to Ask! read less
