Anubhuti Sharma, Sr. Alice Thomas · 2026 · ShodhKosh Journal of Visual and Performing Arts

Summary. This study compares rural and urban women's access to higher education in Madhya Pradesh, India. Rural background, cultural norms, and low socio-economic status create significant barriers to enrollment. Institutional support and value-based education programs strengthen women's empowerment outcomes, including self-confidence, leadership skills, and career aspirations. The findings underscore how educational institutions can overcome structural inequalities affecting rural women.
