They were not allowed to own property, they did not have a share in the property of their parents, they had no voting rights and they had no freedom to choose their work or job and so on. This paper attempts to study the status of women empowerment in India and highlights the issues and challenges of women empowerment. Today the empowerment of women has become one

It is found that acceptance of unequal gender norms by women are still prevailing in the society. The study concludes by an observation that access to Education, Employment and Change in Social Structure are only the enabling factors to Women Empowerment.

This paper describes Mahatma Gandhi in the light of peace and value education through an exploration of their content and institutional development. Mahatma Gandhi treated his individual life in accordance with his ideas. He said "my life is my message". Therefore Gandhism is a mixture of Gandhi's concepts and practices. He practiced and prescribed non-violence as a remedy against all social evils. It is the most ancient eternal values and culture of India. He said on this account, "I have nothing new to teach you .Truth and non-violence are as old as hill." Non-violence and Truth are two sides of a same coin.

His peace and value education offers many possibilities for dealing with short-term violence, but its greatest strength is its long-term preventative education and socialization.
