Education is an instrument which assists the people in the enhancement of skills and knowledge and it also makes them competent to earn their livelihood. With the help of education human resource can be developed. It leads to optimistic change in the attitude of the people, amplifies awareness and brings a sense of responsibility. It also builds them up to face oppression and inequality. ‘Education’ means the qualities of both the types of knowledge, material as well as spiritual. Mahatma Gandhi said that “education is a means for an all-round drawing out of the best in child and man-body, mind and spirit. Literacy is not the end of the education or even the beginning. It is one of the means where man and woman can be educated”. Therefore, Gandhiji’s concept of education is important for balanced and harmonious growth needed for all the phases of human personality. Education is one of the significant indicators of human development. It assists to enlarge the viewpoint of a person in any society. Consequently, it is necessary for the satisfying growth of both men and women. It has a strong relationship between man and his social, cultural, economic and political profile. Literacy is different from education, but it is considered as the main reason for the overall progress of human being (Mayer and Sabar, 2010).
