Session: Muslim Women of Mewat (India): Literacy and Sustainable Development
For Muslim women in Mewat, the literacy rate ranges 1.76 % to 2.13 %, the lowest in India. The research paper will probe the strategies being used by local organisations to address the issue of enhancing women’s participation in development in the context of dissemination of ‘literacy’ as a skill to the Muslim women of the district.
