The discriminative treatment towards women showing that they are not as equal as men; this is known as gender inequality. Gender inequality has been present in our system for a long period of time and it is still affecting our society. Although now-a-days there are so many rights given to women by our constitution and also there are many schemes/ programmes which are working for the women empowerment, but due to lack of information of these rights and power given to women, they feel helpless and are treated as a second class citizen in our country. So it is very important for women to learn about these things which is only possible if they are educated.Since Education is universally acknowledged to benefit individuals in many ways, where promoting self-confidence is also one of the aspects. Education helps women living a good life with their self-esteem and makes them capable of bringing socio-economic changes in the society. Women Education refers to any form of education that improves the knowledge and skills of any woman and girl.When women read and learn about their rights they become more powerful and capable of seeking justice for themselves. Same as technical education also help them to get an employment which will provide them self confidence for living a good life. So for removing this curse of inequality between men and women, education plays a very significant role.In this paper I would like to highlight the role of technical education in removing gender inequality.KEY WORDS: Technical Education, Gender Inequality, Injustice, Empowerment, Socioeconomic Changes.
