Gender-based discrimination in education is both a cause and a consequence of deep-rooted disparities in society. „Education for all‟ is the main motto of Modern Indian Education system.In the context of Indian society, process of universalization of education is not a very easy task. The caste discrimination tends to create a hindrance in the path of development for the Harijans who are under the Scheduled caste category of India‟s population .They have been facing discrimination ,torture and humiliation from several decades .The prevalence of untouchability system remains a major barrier for them in the path of development. Harijan women has to suffer a lot in comparison to their male counterparts and non-Harijan women. Education can play an important role in changing one‟s life but access to education is not a very easy task for them . Thogh these people have been provided various benefits through welfare schemes by the Government but the level of improvement is not satisfactory. The condition of Harijan women is even worst. Gender discrimination is well evident among the Harijans. The pressure of domestic chores, outdated and traditional thinking, early marriage remains as a major barrier for Harijan women. Education for Harijan girls is mainly limited up to primary level. Pursuing higher education after abstaining all odds is possible only for a few fortunate Harijan women. Thus the rate of dropout among the Harijan women is higher than among Harijan boys. Education has been a powerful instrument of socio economic change. The paper attempts to study the impact of education, level of education among the Harijan women of Guwahati city in six selected colonies and its influence of change among them.
