File photo NEW DELHI: India is closing long-standing gender gaps in education, with girls now outperforming boys on several fronts. The latest National Statistics Office (NSO) data shows that the transition remains uneven — from near parity in school enrolment to a gradual shift in higher education outcomes.The ‘women and men in India 2025’ report shows female gross enrolment ratio (GER) exceeding male GER at all school stages and women accounting for 51.48% of total higher education pass-outs, even as the overall literacy gender gap remains at 14.4 percentage points.The data underscores a generational shift.While the overall literacy gap remains wide, it narrows sharply to 3.8 percentage points among youth aged 15–24, reflecting faster gains among younger cohorts.This marks a steady progression from earlier decades, with female literacy rising from 30.6% in 1981 to over 70% in recent estimates, though still trailing male literacy levels.At the school level, gender parity has effectively been achieved across primary to higher secondary stages, with girls not only matching, but exceeding boys in enrolment. Under the national education policy (NEP) framework, female enrolment is higher across foundational, preparatory, middle and secondary stages, while adjusted net enrolment rates (ANER) for girls at the secondary level have also surpassed boys in recent years.Dropout rates for both genders have declined between 2022-23 and 2024-25, with sharper reductions at preparatory and middle stages, although secondary-stage dropouts remain comparatively higher.In higher education, the trend is gradually tilting in favour of women. Female GER increased from 28.5% to 30.2%, compared to a smaller rise for males from 28.3% to 28.9% between 2021-22 and 2022-23. Women now account for a marginal majority of total pass-outs, with particularly high representation at advanced levels such as MPhil (76.14%), and over half of undergraduate and postgraduate completions.However, participation remains uneven across disciplines. Women are concentrated in arts, sciences, social sciences and medical streams, while men continue to dominate engineering, technology, IT and management, reflecting persistent segmentation in career pathways.Learning outcomes show a mixed pattern. Girls consistently outperform boys in languages and board examination pass percentages, while boys perform better in mathematics, particularly at higher grades. At the same time, female participation in higher education now spans over half of total enrolments in several disciplines, signalling broader access even as subject choices remain skewed.Despite improvements in access and participation, structural gaps remain. The mean years of schooling for women stands at 7.4 years, compared to an overall average of 8.4 years, indicating earlier drop-off in educational attainment. Spending patterns also reflect disparity, with average annual expenditure higher for boys (Rs 13,901) than for girls (Rs 12,101), pointing to continued differences in investment at household level.About the AuthorManash Pratim GohainManash Pratim Gohain is a seasoned journalist with over two decades at The Times of India, where he has built a rich body of work spanning education policy, politics, and governance.

Representative image NEW DELHI: A PIL petitioner, on whose plea Supreme Court directed CBI and ED to probe the alleged siphoning of 40,000 crore from bank loans by various Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group (ADAG) companies, on Thursday complained to SC that the agencies have only been arresting officials of the beleaguered corporate and not the kingpin.After advocate Prashant Bhushan’s complaint, solicitor general Tushar Mehta said CBI could not complete probe within four weeks as promised earlier because of discovery of certain new facts and dimensions in the case and handed over the probe status reports by the CBI and ED to a bench of CJI Surya Kant and Justice J Bagchi.“I will not be able to respond to the allegation as to why some are arrested and why not others,” Mehta said.The bench, which had on March 23 expressed displeasure over the perceptible reluctance on the part of probe agencies to proceed against ADAG group companies, said it would pass further orders after going through the status reports and posted the matter for further hearing on May 8.During the last hearing, Anil Ambani’s counsel Mukul Rohatgi had said that ADAG is ready to discuss with banks and financial institutions about settlement of dues.On Thursday, senior advocate Kapil Sibal appeared for him and told the bench that the court needed to know the background of the case, which is crucial.Taking a cue from the subject matter of the PIL, which alleged that huge amounts were taken by ADAG companies as loans from banks and then insolvency proceedings were initiated to enable these companies to be taken over for a song by relatives, advocate Prabhas Bajaj said such a scam is all pervasive in insolvency proceedings.When he cited an example of solvent companies being taken over cheaply by other companies through insolvency proceedings causing huge loss to the banks, the bench said it would not go into individual cases.“Our effort is to dispel the impression that big players, involved in such cases, get away lightly,” it said.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosChanakya Today Exit Poll: BJP Sweep In Bengal, DMK Ahead In TN, Assam Favours NDAUS Hands Back 657 Stolen Antiquities Worth Million To India, Exposes Global Smuggling NetworksNaval Anti-ship Missile : Navy, Drdo Demonstrate Salvo Launch That Can Sink ShipsECI Introduces New QR Code Photo ID Rule To Prevent Unauthorised Entry At Counting CentresCCTV Shows Car Plunging Into Gorge In Una, Himachal | Tyre Burst Suspected, 2 KilledDelhi HC Freezes Sunjay Kapur Assets, Restrains Priya Kapur In High-Stakes Inheritance DisputeLet’s Not Choose For People: Supreme Court Pulls Up Centre Over Minor Rape Survivor’s Pregnancy Case’Sonia Gandhi Takes Decisions’: Congress President Kharge On Karnataka CM Change BuzzHafiz Saeed’s Aides Hunted Down: Lashkar-e-Taiba Loses Commanders to Mysterious KillingsRecord Bengal Turnout at 92.9%, SIR Row and Voter Surge Complicate Poll Reading123PhotostoriesFrom opening up about his troubled childhood and growing up in a violent home to facing bullying at school; Sidharth Bhardwaj recalls his traumatic pastThis Indian street food is crowned Prayagraj’s official signature dish8 South Indian dishes among the Top 100 Pancakes in the WorldVirat Kohli: 7 life lessons to learn from the RCB cricketerTV serials with strong woman leads, ‘Naamkaran’, ‘Neema Denzongpa and others- check the list hereHow to make Rajasthani Gatte Ka Pulao for summer dinner5 most crowded national parks in the USA; what travellers should knowGokuldham society’s plot twists that no one saw coming: From Tapu going bald to Babu Ji going to jailAishwarya Rai Bachchan to Deepika Padukone: The real price of Bollywood’s most expensive sarees explainedFrom UK’s Prince Harry to Japan’s Princess Mako: Royals who gave up their titles and wealth for love — Shocking true stories123Hot PicksExit Poll Result 2026Bengal Election 2026Bengal ElectionPM ModiAjay Pal SharmaBengal Poll RecordHimanta Biswa SarmaTop TrendingPune Gas LeakBengaluru Wall CollapseVande Bharat expressDelhi NewsPawan KheraTripura Madhyamik Result 2026CBSE Class 12th ResultMumbai Police DeathBSE AP SSC Class 10th ResultIPL Orange Cap

File photo NEW DELHI: The onus of disproving suspicions about the legitimacy of late businessman Sunjay Kapur’s purported will lies on his wife Priya Kapur, Delhi high court said Thursday, directing that his Rs 30,000-crore estate be frozen until all doubts are settled, reports. “The legitimate suspicious circumstances raised by the plaintiffs will have to be completely removed by defendant number one (Priya Kapur) before the document is accepted as the last will,” Justice Jyoti Singh said.She said the plaintiffs had “made out a prima facie case the assets need to be protected and preserved pending disposal of the suit”.Priya’s claims citing the will have been challenged by Sunjay’s children from his previous marriage to actor Karisma Kapoor.If the assets aren’t preserved and Priya ultimately fails to prove the will’s validity, Sunjay and Karisma’s children Samaira and Kiaan, besides his mother Rani Kapur, would be deprived of their legitimate share of the estate, the judge said.The interim order freezes equity shareholdings in three Indian companies held by the deceased and restrains disposal of his personal effects, including artwork.Priya has been barred from drawing from her late husband’s provident fund or touching funds in his Indian bank accounts unless the withdrawals are to meet Sunjay’s obligations related to his divorce from Karisma. The court also barred her from operating foreign bank accounts and cryptocurrency assets.The order isn’t binding on Sunjay’s immovable foreign assets. Priya’s legal team had argued that these were out of HC’s purview on jurisdictional grounds.Sunjay died on July 12 last year after collapsing during a polo match in England. He suffered a cardiac arrest after reportedly ingesting a live bee.About the AuthorAbhinav GargAs legal editor for Delhi, Abhinav Garg handles coverage of courts and connected legal challenges shaping the capital.
