Many developing countries including India have displayed gender inequality in education, employment and health. The gender gap in education can be understood in the overall context of the position that women occupy in society. The status of women in India is generally low. They are one of the disadvantaged sections of the society. The disparity between the enrolment of girls and boys has been lessening in the urban areas; the gap between their enrolments is still very wide specially in rural areas. The reasons for this are both economic and social. This study was conducted in Saidpur village of Kurebhar block of Sultanpur district of Uttar Pradesh. For the selection of respondents random sampling was used and percentage was calculated. The objective of this study was to find out the reasons behind gender bias in education. Most of the respondents were not in favor of girl's education due to low socioeconomic status and they also thought that girl's education is not necessary.

In addition, the aonla fruits are preserved and sold in the form of murabba, pickles, candy, jelly and jam. Aonla is an important and highly valued fruit grown in India. There is a wide scope to improve and increase the aonla production by enhancing the knowledge regarding improved aonla cultivation. Knowledge plays an important role in adoption of improved cultivation and post harvest practices of aonla. The present study was conducted in Jhadol panchayt samiti of Udaipur district, Rajasthan to assess knowledge of tribal women regarding improved aonla cultivation and post harvest practices. Total ten villages were selected from three clusters viz., Ogna, Jhadol and Baghpura. A sample of 200 tribal women was selected through random sampling technique from selected villages with proportion to the size of sample in the selected villages. Selected respondents were interviewed personally using well structured pre tested interview schedule. The collected data were analyzed by using appropriate statistical tool to infer results. The study revealed that the respondents possessed average knowledge with overall MPS 64.87 regarding improved cultivation practices of aonla. Knowledge assessment of the respondents regarding post harvest practices showed that they possessed average knowledge about post harvest practices with overall MPS 55.46.
