Abstract - This Education in every sense is one of the fundamental factors of development.

No country can achieve sustainable economic development without sustainable investment in human capital. Education has played a vital role in economic development of country and varied innovative techniques such as e-tutorials. On line classes have led to an enhanced economic development of a developed country like India. Throughout, the objective is to draw out the implications of the empirical results for education policy. We have implemented T-test in the research report. Through this test, we all can know how the female class of our country is deprived of education. The T-test has presented very conclusive facts in front of us. We can apply the education program schemes through these facts in our country. The results suggest that female education is of particular importance in India. Earlier in past times, females were not allowed to have higher education but now trend has changed and thus females of the society are given equal opportunities as males.This is because of this change only that employment level has gone up in India.

Treating females equally as males has improved the quality of their lives and leads to social benefits to individuals as well as to society. Education raises people‘s productivity and creativity and promotes entrepreneurship and technological advances. In addition, it plays a crucial role in securing economic and social progress and improving income distribution.

Sub-Theme: Role of Education in Economic Development 1 INTRODUCTION

Education is the process of facilitating learning or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs and habits.

Education methods include storytelling, discussion, teaching, training and direct research. In most regions, education is compulsory upto a certain age. Education in general sense is a form of learning in which knowledge, skills, abilities and habits of a group of people are transferred from one generation to the next through teaching, training, research not simply through auto dictates. India leads the world in the number of educated children and the majority of them are girls. While the enrolment on girl on the public education has increased substantially since independence. In the present world, overall female participation in education at all level is still below 50% (Miller, 2018). Education for the girls is one of the principal that track ways to promote social and economic development.

According to EFA global observing report 2016-17, increasing the educational level of girls has an encouraging influence upon economics growth. Since 2015

United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the global community have been striving to attain the Dakar Education for All (EFA) goals. Taking into consideration the fact that education for girls and women is a crucial preference, the Darker Framework for Action contained a time-bound goal.

The power of innovation, Innovation is not an expensive or larger- then initiative; on the contrary, the essence of innovation line creates maximum value from a minimal investment of education. Sustainable and inclusive innovation depends on this. A combination of volatile and complex factor, including accelerated depletion of the world natural resources, growing expectations, income gaps and the urgency of raising the living standards of millions of poor and deprived communities across the planet have placed a premium on the need for rapid, inclusive and effecting innovation. Across the globe, but especially in large country like India, scalable innovation has become

Innovation education that helps to foster a creative mind-set from an early age can play vital role in transforming many societies from law to high productivity, from poverty to prosperity from being consumer to being producers of ideas.

2 LITERATURE REVIEW

According to Ahmed, Nabi and Siddiqui, Mohd Abid (2006) ―Empowerment of socio-economically weaker sections through education; Commitments and Challenges‖, it is found that urban women belonging to educated classes and higher socio-economic groups enjoy more psychological secure and status rather than the girls belonging to the urban slums and rural and remote areas continue to lag behind or even deprived to receive primary and secondary education.

According to micro study done by Duggal, J (1992) on ―Access of Schedule caste girls to elementary education in rural Haryana‖. The findings of the study were that physical facilities in the sample schools were inadequate and their utilization was even lower. The proportion of school going girls was higher among SC parents who were skilled workers in Government, semi government on private service or were self-employed. The incentives provided by the State Govt.

were inadequate and were not received on time. Parents perceived that male teachers discriminated on the basis of the sex of the students, which had a negative effect on continuance of girls in education. Co-education and shortage of female teachers in rural areas played a negative role in retaining girls in school.

According to study by Dhamija, Neelam (2006) on ―Women Empowerment through Education: Role of Universities‖, it was revealed that educating women benefits the whole society and on the basis of this education they enjoy their status in our society. It has a more significant impact on poverty and development then men‘s education. It is also one of the most influential factors in improving child health and reducing infant mortality.

3 IMPORTANCE OF INNOVATIVE EDUCATION

Education in a child‘s life affects his overall quality of life in both the society and employment.

So, education is essential and indispensable need to live in the modern world. Education contributes to:

1. Ability to read: Education helps a person to read without depending on others. Most of the information is communicated by reading. With education one can read books, newspapers, signboards and symbols. A man who is able to read and write is known as to be literate.

Without primary education, one has to rely and depend on others for all the basic needs of reading and writing.

2. Decent Livelihood: Education provides a platform for decent livelihood. One can take up a job in an industry or another professional service only when educated. Many people of middle and lower income groups have a better lifestyle through proper education. They can meet the technical skills required to land a high pay job, professional courses such as healthcare, engineering, law etc. Hence, education can guarantee a better lifestyle.

3. Helps to communicate better:Communication includes speech, signs, gestures and even body language. A person with better education has refined speech and other ways of communication along with confident and optimistic body language. Without basic education it would be difficult to write an email, letter, or even run a smartphone.

Hence, education helps to have better communication.

4. Ability to serve the society:

education has helped in the rise in the number of medical experts, engineers, teachers, etc. to provide services to such a vast population of the world we need many medical and other experts. Through education, we can generate the skilled personnel. This has led to better health and also an improvement in lifestyle.

5. Use of technology: The food production, medicine, electronic gadgets, automobiles and other

(3)

3 luxury items were developed due to the spread of science and technology among the professionals through education only. So, without basic education, it would be difficult for one to use gadgets of modern technology.

6. Safe and secure

transactions:Nowadays all the money related transactions happen through bank cheques, credit cards, etc. Without education it would be difficult to understand the terms and processes and depend on others. Having education will help one to rely on himself and make safer transactions.

7. Mind maturity:The mind gets matured by proper education and training. A person can judge what is right and what is wrong. Education makes a person independent. He can earn his bread anywhere in the world without being dependent on family or native state. It also helps to improve discipline, self-control and even a sense of responsibility.

Proper education can cut the crime rate and other sorts of social violence.

4 FACTOR’S AFFECTING EDUCATION From the mythical era to the post- independence period, there has been a lot of progress in the efforts made to female literacy. However, this task has not yet reached the level of satisfaction. There is still much work to do in this direction.

There is a lack of female literacy behind India's retreat from other countries. In India, the seriousness of female literacy is less because in the very first time, various restrictions were imposed on women in the society. It is very necessary to remove these restrictions very soon. In order to remove these restrictions, we have to spread awareness on widespread education of women and women will have to motivate their rights so that they can come forward and play an important role in changing the society and the country.

4.1 The following reasons for affecting women's education in India are:

 Not getting malnutrition and overweight food.

 Sexual harassment at a minor age.

 Poor financial status of parents.

 Many types of social barriers.

 Pressure to obey parents or mother in laws at home.

 No permission to get higher education.

 Infection in childhood lack of adequate power to fight disease.

4.2 Objectives Of Study

 To provide opportunities to those sections of the society which can not avail of formal education access to education through innovative education.

 To promote equity educational opportunities in term of access to educational as well as the conditions necessary to education.

 Innovative education will provide women with an opportunity to reflect on critical, economic and cultural issues.

4.3 Scope of study

Innovation education is considered as vital tool for social as well as national development. I has significant role in evaluating the human development of a country. When we access the development of a person, society, community or a Nation, the educationalproperties, such as educational or qualification, the number of educational institution in the state or the country in relation to its population, rate of enrolment, relation, quality of education provided, equity and equity for educational opportunities and after words is regarded as the key criteria for the door. Therefore every country of the world has been focusing on the development of the innovative educational filed of our country. Many innovative programs and projects are being pre focusing prepared by policymaker as well as academics bodies around the world to improve their educational quantity and quality. Crores of rupees are allocated in their budget to implement such planned programs and project.

5 RESEARCH DESIGN

Decisions regarding what, where, when, how much, by what means concerning an enquiry or research study constitute research design. ―A research design is the arrangement of conditions for collection and analysis of data in a manner that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with economy in procedure.‖

(C.R.Kothari, 1990) In fact, research

(4)

4 design is the conceptual structure within which research is conducted; it constitutes the blueprint for collection, measurement and analysis of data.

Researcher has used demographical form of research and the analysis has been made through the use of T-test. For collecting data both the primary and secondary sources have been used by the researchers. For analysing the data so collected, researcher has used pilot survey. Questionnaire have been used for collecting primary data and for secondary data periodicals and journals of the group have been used by the researchers.

5.1 Sample Design:

Using non-probability sampling method, it is not possible to say what is the probability of any particular member of the population being sample. Although this does not make the sample ‗bad‘, researcher using such sample can to be as confident in drawing conclusions about the whole population.

Convenience sampling selects a sample on basis of how easy it is to access. Such sample are extremely easy to organise, but there is no way to guarantee whether they are representative.

5.2 Sample Size:

In this research paper, we have used a small sample size. In this latter, we have fully focused on the education of rural women. Here we are using 30 sample of rural women and divided into 3 age categories. Here, through tables, we have tried to understand their thoughts about innovation in the education of rural women of various age groups.

5.3 Data Analysis:

The first stage of analysing data is data presentation, where the aim is to convert raw data in to something meaningful and readable.

After this we pick a random sample of completed surveys and validate the collection the data. Then we edited the data and refers to grouping, we create age buckets and categorize the age of each of the respondent as per the codes.

We have converted the data in a percentages form. As per the ratio of percentages, we are analysingthe table.

Table-1 Table Showing Percentages Of The Innovation In Education

5.4 Data Collection and Presentation For the research MS EXCEL was used for the analysis of data. With the help of MS EXCEL data collected from the sources were classified, tabulated and analysed using pivot charts. The data collection form the questionnaire is analysed as follows:

Interpretation: 90% college girl students consider that innovative education learning should be in the college and syllabus.70% rural women consider that the innovation learning is very important part of life.60% school girls are consider that they all want to learn innovative study.

10% college girl students not aware about the innovation.40% girl students also don‘t know that what innovation is. The rural area women can‘t understand how the innovation work.

First of all, we talk about innovative education, in which 12 year- old students are 18 years of age. All of them are studying in class 6th to 12th in the survey. After talking to them, we came to know that no one knows about innovation education in the village school.

We explained to the school student about innovation education, and we asked the students if they want to get new education in their academic life.

6 out of 10 students said that they want to enable themselves with new technology and new innovation education

5 system. They want to know how to teach with innovative ideas. They are all very interested in learning. Innovative education with new prospectus, but here they are college there are some problems

On the other hand, if we are talking about other aspects which college students tell us that there is a very narrow thinking area, they also want to learn i facing the department, which does not operate regular classes in the college campus. Mostly students are choosing Home Science, Sociology, Hindi literature and most probably easy subjects.

And we talk about innovation from the rural area women they consider that they are agree to work with innovative techniques of work. But here we have to teach them first of all.

5.5 Indian Education System: What needs to change?

It should be:

1. Focus on skill-based education:

Our education system geared towards teaching and testing knowledge at every level as opposed to teaching skill. Knowledge is largely forgotten after the semester exam is over. Still, year after year Indian students focus on cramming information. The best crammer is rewarded by the system.

2. Reward creativity, original thinking, research, and innovation: Our education system rarely rewarded what deserves the highest academic accolades.

Deviance is discouraged. Risk taking is mocked. We have to develop our testing and marketing system built to recognize original contribution, in the form of creativity, problem- solving, valuable original research and innovation.

3. Get smart people to teach: For way too long teaching become the sanctuary of the incompetent.

Teaching jobs are until today widely regarded as safe, well-paying, risk- free and law pressure jobs. Once a teacher told me in high school well if you guys don‘t study it is entirely your loss – I will get my salary at the end of the month anyway.

Thousands of terrible teachers all over India are wasting valuable time for young children every day all over India.

4. Implement massive technology infrastructure for education: India needs to embrace the internet and technology if it has to teach all of its huge population, the majority of which is located in remote villages.

Now that we have computers and the internet, it makes sense to invest in technological infrastructure that will make access to knowledge easier than ever. Instead of focussing on outdated models of brick and mortar colleges and universities, we need to create educational delivery mechanisms that can actually take the wealth of human knowledge to the masses.

The tools for this dissemination will be cheap smartphones, tablets, and computers with high-speed internet connection. While all these are becoming more possible than ever before, there is a lot of innovation yet to take place in this space.

5. Re-define the purpose of the education system: Our education system is still a colonial education system geared towards generating babus and pen-pushers under the newly acquired skin of modernity.

We may have the most number of engineering graduates in the world, but that certainly has not translated into much technological innovation here. Rather, we are busy running the call centres of the rest of the world – that is where our engineering skills end. The goal of our new education system should be to create entrepreneurs, innovators, artists, scientists, thinkers, and writers who can establish the foundation of a knowledge-based economy rather than the low-quality service provider nation that we are turning into.

6. Effective deregulation: Until today, an institute of higher education in India must be operating on a not- for-profit basis. This is discouraging for entrepreneurs and innovators who could have worked in these spaces. On the other hand, many people are using education institutions to hide their black money, and often earning a hefty income from education business through clever structuring and therefore bypassing the rule with

(6)

6 respect to not earning profit from recognized educational institutions.

As a matter of fact, private equity companies have been investing in some education service provider companies which in turn provide services to not-for-profit educational institutions and earn enviable profits. Sometimes these institutes are so costly that they are outside the rich of most Indian students.

7. Providing help through NGO and Semi-Government sector: In the rural area, we have to provide education through NGO and Semi- Government sector conducted by the help of a coordinator. We have to aware form them to the innovation education system.
