Worthwhile to mention, Khairun Nessa Begum Women’s College which is eighth venture of ERD Foundation had first started its academic session in 2015-16 to reverse the myth that women are not entitled to be liberated or educated. KNBWC, both Junior and Senior College, has set its goal to empower women specially the down trodden rural women belonging to minority communities. And for that education is the only powerful weapon through which they will be more conscious of their rights and thus attain self-reliance. Gone are the days when women were regarded as just subservient to their patriarchal lord and therefore they don’t need to be given education. As per record, the minority women literacy rate in Assam is only 40% and accordingly women’s participation is also very less in higher education. This decision of the foundation is encouraged by the recommendations made by the Committee on Girls’ Education, Ministry of HRD, Govt. of India.
