| Abstract | Muslim women in Begusarai district, Bihar, face intersecting socio-economic disadvantages and educational barriers rooted in poverty, cultural norms, and limited access to resources. With Muslims comprising approximately 13.71% of the district’s population (Census 2011), their status mirrors broader patterns in Bihar, where Muslim literacy stands at 56.3% (female 48.4%) compared to the state average of 61.8%. This paper synthesizes available data from state-level surveys and reports to examine key indicators of socio-economic status (poverty, employment, land ownership) and educational challenges (literacy gaps, dropout rates, madrasa dependence). Findings reveal higher female-headed households due to male out-migration, low female workforce participation (around 10%), and persistent gender disparities in education exacerbated by early marriage and infrastructure deficits. Targeted interventions in skill development, girls’ schooling, and community awareness are recommended to address these issues. The analysis highlights the need for district-specific policies beyond generalized minority welfare schemes. |
