Promotion of Women's education has been one of the cornerstones of our educational policy. National policy on Education-1986 revised in 1992 took a broader view in underscoring the role of education in empowering women in order to overcome inequalities and disparities. The study was conducted taking 100 women of Bhopal city. Self prepared tool was used for collecting the data. It was found that the decision-making ability of educated women is more than uneducated women. Educated working women have more decision making ability then educated non working women.
