1. Women's Enrolment in Education: A Study of Inclusive Growth in India Dr. Virendra R. Nagarale (M. Sc . Ph. D.) Professor and Head Department of Geography S.N.D.T. Women’s University Pune Campus, Pune INDIA 411038 [email protected]

2. Introduction Education is one of the most important indicator for the development of any nation or region . Inclusive growth and inclusive development are concepts which emphasize on inclusion of everything, which is lagging or away from the mainstream of society. Planning commission of India had made inclusive growth is a very clear (explicit) goal in Eleventh Five Year Plan (2002-2007) and has been extended in the Twelve Five Year Plan (2012-2017). Gender bias in education has a significant negative impact on social and economic growth.

3. Gender inequality in higher education prevents progress in overall development of any nation. A country like India which compromises fifty percent of female population faces this challenge to bridge the gap. According to the census reports of Indian Census 2011, the population of India is 121 Crore with 62.3 Crore males and 58.6 Crore females. Adult Literacy (15 + Age Group) rate of India in 2011 is 69.3%. The Male literacy rate is 78.8 % and Female literacy rate is 59.3% according to Census 2011. In the present paper, an attempt has been made to find a considerable impact of gender inequality on enrollment in higher education. The study consists of Global Enrollment Rate which has been compared with Indian female enrollment rate. Female GER trend for primary education to Higher education declines from 97.6 to 19.4. Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) in Higher education in India is 23.6%, which is calculated for 18-23 years of age group. GER for male population at all India level is 24.5% whereas female population at all India level is 22.7%.Overall expenditure on education in India is only 4% of GDP, which makes negative impact on GER. S.N.D.T. Women’s University Mumbai is first Women’s University in South East Asia, recently completed 100 years. The women’s enrollment in higher education with different educational faculties has been selected for the study.

4. Higher Education and Inclusive growth The growth in the higher education has been remarkable in terms of number of Universities, Colleges, students and teachers. The National Sample Surveys (NSS) provides some data that helps to analyse and interpret the various dimensions of growth and inequalities in higher education in India. Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), University Grants Commission (UGC) and All India Survey on Higher Education (AISHE) and other research studies provide supplementary data on higher education in India. After analysing these data, we can have statistics growth and inequalities in Higher Education . Compared to 20 Universities during independence, at present there are 760 Universities, 38498 Colleges and 12276 stand Alone Institution in India (AISHE 2016). There are 11 Universities exclusively for women, two in Rajasthan, two in Tamil Nadu and one each in Andhra Pradesh, Delhi, Haryana, Karnataka, Maharashtra and West Bengal. The top four states in terms of highest number of college in India are Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Rajasthan 58 % Colleges are located in rural area 10.7 % colleges exclusively for girls. Bangalore district from Karnataka tops in terms of number of colleges with 948 colleges.

5. Total enrolment in higher education has been estimated to be 34.2 million with 18.5 million boys and 15.7 million girls. Girls constitute 45.5 % of the total enrolment. Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) in Higher education in India is 24.3 % which is calculated for 18 – 23 years of age group. At Undergraduate level the highest number (40%) of students are enrolled in Arts / Humanities / Social Sciences (15%) and Commerce (14%) (AISHE 2016). In terms of gender distribution, Kerala having 58% of female ranking number one and Himachal Pradesh with 52 % of female with rank two in terms of higher enrolment than male in India inclusive growth means the growth with all aspect i.e. overall growth. In the general sense, the growth which ensures equal opportunities for all sections of the society, with special focus on the poor, particularly women and backward people, who are almost likely to be marginalised. The commission on Growth and Development of the World Bank defines inclusiveness as a concept that encompasses equity, equality of opportunity, and protection of the people mainly the weaker sections in market and employment transitions (Commission on Growth and Development 2008).

6. It is a growth process which yields broad – based benefits and ensures equality of opportunity for all (Planning Commission 2007). Inclusive growth policies are expected to aim as the creation of a ‘Equal Society’ Inclusive growth consists of both pace and pattern of the growth, in other words we can say spatio – temporal aspect of the inclusive growth should be included while studying inclusive growth. Inclusive growth process requires inclusive education to promote inclusive growth, it has to be necessarily inclusive. In the Eleventh five year plan (2007 – 12) emphasis given on the inclusive growth and later it has been continued in the twelve five year plan (2012 – 17) by Government of India. To quote the inclusive nature of the growth it will be conditioned by the progress that is made in the areas of education (Ministry of Finance, 2007)

7. Study Area India,with an area of 3287263 sq. km. is the seventh largest country in the world and ranks second in the Population mainland extends between 8 4 N and 36 7 N latitude and 68 7 E and 97 25 E longitude. It measures about 3214 km. from north to south between the extreme latitude and about 2933 km from east to west between extreme longitude. It has land Fortier about 15200 km and total length of coastline is 7516.6 km. For the sake of study, physiographically, India divided into five physiographic divisions ( i ) Himalayan Mountains (ii) The Great Plain of North India (iii) The Peninsular plateau (iv) The coastal plains (v) The islands Geomorphological, the total land area 10.7 percent is more than 2132 m above MSL and is mountainous 18.6 is hilly area (305 to 2135 m), 27.7 percent is plateau (305 to 915 m) and remaining 43 percent is plain area ( Khullar ). India’s climate is broadly described as tropical monsoon type of climate. The Tropic of Cancer passes through the middle of country. The IMD (Indian Metrological Development) designates four official seasons: ( i ) Winter from December to early April (ii) Summer or pre- monsoon season lasting from April to June (iii) Monsoon or rainy season, lasting from June to September (iv) Post monsoon season lasting from October to December (INDIA 2016). The study has been carried out for whole India, hence study area has been divided into five administrative regions 1) East India 2) North India 3) North East India 4) South India 5) West India (Fig.2).

8. The North of India is the biggest administrative region comprises 1318975 sq. km geographical area, with average population density of 335 persons per square kilometre. There are nine states viz. Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh having total population 441187479 with 23081963 males and 210367786 females as per 2011 census.

There are five states viz. Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, West Bengal, Chhattisgarh having total Population 295606165 with 152074017 males and 143532148 females as per 2011 census. Overall enrolment in the higher education in this region was 405966 with 236296 males and 169670 females (Table 1 and Fig.2).

9. The west of India is the fourth biggest administrative region comprises of 507439 sq. km. geographical area with average population density of 343 persons per square kilometre. There are Three states viz Maharashtra, Goa, Gujarat having total population of 174214323 with 90584390 males and 83629933 females as per 2011 census. Overall enrolment in the higher education in this region was 551556 with 326106 males and 225450 females (Table 1 and Fig.2). The North of East India is the smallest administrative region comprises 262179 sq. km. geographical area with average population density of 174 persons per square kilometre.

11. Database and Methodology: For the present research article secondary data from National Sample Surveys (NSS), India Statistical data, Census data is considered for data analysis and interpretation. Various institutes associated with higher education viz. Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), University Grants Commission (UGC) and All India Survey on Higher Education (AISHE) State Higher education departments websites and publications were approved to collect data. India is divided into five administrative regions with geographical consideration and all these regions has been analysed from 1985 to 2010. These 25 years data classified into five years cycles. The data considered for the study for post graduate enrolment in the three faculties Master of Arts (M.A.), Masters of Commerce (M. Com) and Master of Science (M.Sc.). In the second phase this data is also compared with overall enrolment of all these five regions, which are considered for the post graduate enrolments. Women’s enrolment in higher education is one of the case studies of S.N.D.T. Women’s University, Mumbai has been critically examined in the study. The data for Post-graduation women’s enrolment is considered from 1986 to 2015. The results interpreted are represented by showing graphs and tables. Major limitation of the present research paper is lack of sufficient data as well as only from three faculties data.

14. The S.N.D.T Women’s University was founded by Bharat Ratna Maharshi Dhondo Keshav Karve, the bold social reformer who dedicated his life to the advancement of Indian women. In 1896 he started an ashram at Hingne , near Pune for widow and other helpless women. In 1916, the University was launched with an enrolment of five students . Recognizing the pioneering work of Dr. Karve, Sir Vitthaldas Thackersey stepped forward with donation. In 1920, the University was named Shreemati Nathibai Damodar Thackersey Women’s University (SNDT) in memory of his mother. In 1936, the headquarters of the University shifted to Mumbai. The University continued to grow, providing higher higher education to more and more women. In 1951, the University was granted statutary recognisation . Today the University has four campuses-Pune, Churchgate , Juhu and Shrivardhan . Now it has 44 University departments, 14 constituent colleges and 272 affiliated colleges throughout India.

16. Results and Conclusion The present study is carried out throughout the country. For the detail analysis, India is divided into five regions. Total Geographical area of each region, Population density of each region, Population structure with sex ratio of each region considered for the assessment. Physical setup, resources, social strata are other parameters which are indirectly correlated for the discussing results. In these five regions South India and North East India having 998 and 955 sex ratio which plays vital role in the women’s enrolment at higher education.

17. Overall P.G. enrolment 2010 – 2015 In the analysis of state wise enrolment of PG student from 2010 – 11 to 2014 – 15 the following main conclusion can be drawn. PG enrolment of female student was 44.49 % in 2010 which has increased upto 51.5 % in 2015. This shows the increasing trend of women’s enrolment in Higher education. In detail we can observe that there is decline in the women’s enrolment at West India region from 7.5 % to 6.97 % for North East region it is highest growth in the women’s enrolment from 0.87 % to 1.47 % (Table 4). According to census data (2011), total population of female and overall female enrolment also shows variations . These variation may be due to number of geographical factors like TGA (Total Geographical area), Population diversity, physiography of study region and other economic factor etc. The female literacy rate is 64.6 percent and sex ratio variation plays vital role in the enrolment. In higher education, girls per hundred boys enrolment was 13 in 1950 – 51 which has been increased now 78, which shows positive trend

18. On the other hand total expenditure on education (not higher education) was 0.64 % of GDP in 1951 – 52 now increased 3 % of GDP. In fact, the expenditure on Higher education should be special budget expenditure, not in education budget GER for higher education from census 2001 to 2011 show three times more enrolment 6.7 to 19.4 in girl’s enrolment. The absolute numbers in terms of higher education enrolment, overall enrolment rises from 4.0 lacs in 1951 to 86 lacs in 2001 shows 21 times increase. Male and female enrolment was 3.5 lacs and 0.5 lacs in 1951 is now 54.0 lacs and 32.0 lacs respectively. The rise in male enrolment is 15 times, but in female rise is 64 times more which is very significant.

19. M.A., M. Com, M.Sc. enrolment for 25 years The study of three faculties i.e. Master of Arts (M.A.), Master of Commerce ( M.Com .) and Master of Science (M.Sc.) which have well existed and well distributed among all over Indian universities . For 25 years of M.A. enrolment, it is observed that there is overall increase in enrolment but in South region and North Eastern region decline in female enrolment from 5.37 to 5.08 in South and 0.93 to 0.82 in North Eastern region (Table 6). This is because of sex ratio of South India region is 998 and NER is 955, which indicates that females migrate to other places for new faculties enrolment other than M.A., M.Com ., M.Sc. In the Master of Commerce enrolment there is increasing trend of enrolment among women. Highest enrolment has been observed in western region i.e. 5.29 to 21.08 near about four times higher enrolment simultaneously in this region there is decline of male enrolment from 24.85 to 19.94 ( Table 5). In the Master of Science (M.Sc.) enrolment, the women’s enrolment is highest in the South region (10.70) which increases almost in double (19.18) from 1985 to 2010. All other regions, except Eastern region where slight decline of women’s enrolment in the science faculty is observed (Table 7 ).

20. In the case study of S.N.D.T. Women’s University, P.G. Enrolment, study has covered the last thirty years . In the study of women’s enrolment, S.N.D.T. is the first women’s University in South East Asia, who recently completed 100 years . The average enrolment in the M.A. has been increase from 708 to 1115 (Table 2). This indicates average 30 women’s enrolment per year is very less, increase in enrolment Master of Commerce average enrolment from 69 to 225 and M.Hsc from 87 to 199 also shows very low increase in the enrolment. There is decline in the enrolment of SNDT students because of other courses available nearby universities in the region. In 2010 Master of Arts having 7.62 % of M.A. students which decline to 5.14 in the year 2015. Master of Commerce and Master of Home Science enrolment percentage remain unchanged or slight changes from 2010 to 2015. Overall in this five year period less than 10 % of total enrolment contributes in these three Master Degree programmes (Table 3)
