Abstract	Women Education is Very important for our country. This is not only because women constitute half of the population and therefore they naturally have a right to education but also because women’s education has far reaching impact on the society as a whole. India is a country with diversities inhabiting various ethnic, cultural, linguistic and religious groups. After Independence, much emphasis was given to women’s education, including Muslim women. Past researches on socio-economic profile of Muslims confirm that Muslims, especially women, remain socially, economically and educationally backward. The committee has clearly revealed that only 4 per cent Muslim population is educated and it is the most educationally and economically backward minority in the country.The present paper highlights the educational status of Muslim women of Dakshin Dinajpur District in particular..The study also draws on census data, secondary reports, and local observations to understand the patterns of literacy, enrolment, and dropout rates. It also examines the impact of government schemes such as Sarva Shiksha Mission, Kanyashree Prakalpa, and Sabuj Sathi on their educational development.
