A Study on Awareness of Social Rights and Privileges for Women among the Female Understudy Educators
The aim of the current study is to determine on awareness of social rights and privileges for women
among the Female Understudy Educators. The Indian Constitution has sanctioned the State to
implement measures in favor of women for nullifying the collective socio-economic, educational and
political shortcomings faced by them. Anti-social activities against women: dowry, sexual
harassment and other deaths are recorded each day in Indian newspapers, according to the national
crimes statistics bureau. Who will become the instruments for justice? It is none but the teachers, the
women teachers. To instill proper values and to bring awareness to the younger generation, the
teachers must be sensitized at first. The women who aspire for teaching profession must get proper
knowledge, understanding and awareness regarding rights and privileges of Indian women. So, the
investigator initiated to the present study on awareness of Female Understudy Educators regarding
rights and privileges for women. The sample for study is selected from Female Understudy
Educators in Chennai city Teacher Training Educational Institutions. The sample counted in Female
Understudy Educators selected randomly from B.Ed Integrated and B.Ed Normal courses. From the
present study the investigators could infer that, the Female Understudy Educators need more
awareness related to personal, familial and social life. Even though there was moderate and high
level of awareness for 92 per cent of the sample, eight per cent of the sample had low level of
awareness. If the present trainees or the future teachers get awareness on social issues, they can
impart this awareness to all the female students. It is essential that every citizen of India, especially
every woman must have awareness about the constitutional and legal rights.
