Abstract

Women’s higher education in Telangana has undergone notable development in recent years, driven by government initiatives, socio-economic reforms, and evolving societal norms. Various state-sponsored schemes like the Fee Reimbursement Program and residential degree colleges for women have played a crucial role in increasing access to higher education, particularly for marginalized and rural communities. Women’s participation has grown significantly in fields such as the arts, sciences, and management, though challenges remain in areas like STEM education, safety, and infrastructure. Socio-cultural barriers, including early marriage and economic constraints, continue to restrict educational access for many women, especially in rural areas. However, rising trends such as skill-based education, research involvement, and the increasing promotion of female leadership in academia and entrepreneurship provide optimism for future advancements. This abstract reviews the current landscape of women’s higher education in Telangana, highlighting key policies, challenges, and the potential for further growth, particularly in the fields of STEM and leadership
