abstract={Educated women in Jammu and Kashmir can play an important role in all round development of the state. The most powerful tool that changes the position of society and nation is only womenĄŻs education. WomenĄŻs education spreads very slowly in past but very fast in present period. Education improves the status of women within the family as well as in society. So we cannot ignore the importance of womenĄŻs education in reference to women empowerment in Jammu & Kashmir. For every citizen there is a need of positive attitude towards womenĄŻs education. The aim of this study is to examine the status of womenĄŻs education, causes of increasing and decreasing female literacy rate and sex ratio in some districts of Jammu and Kashmir from 1950 to present. The present study is based on secondary sources (census).},
