Abstract

Education of all people is very important in order to upgrade a nation's human resources for the best possible utilisation of their full potential throughout life. The process of effective teaching, learning, and skill development equips them for fulfilling lives. Even if it is not a "basic right" of the individual, government and society still value higher education for the population's prosperity and well-being. The government has developed a multitude of plans, laws, and programmes over time to make access to education easier. The action plan includes gender sensitization to reduce the gender gap in educational achievement and to narrow the rural-urban divide over time. This was done with the assistance of governmental, private, and joint venture entities (Public Private together). The inequalities between rural and urban areas and gender inequality in educational attainment, however, are almost ubiquitous. The focus of the current study is higher education. Based on data from the 2011 Indian Census, it is a micro level analysis. In order to analyse the distribution of men and women with higher education throughout all districts in Haryana, both urban and rural, maps are created using the Q. GIS software. The maps reveal a significant disparity between the male and female populations as well as between rural and urban areas.
