Gender, School and Society (Hindi)

Author: Dr. Sanjeev Sharma

Dr. Sanjeev Sharma has written this Hindi edition for the B.Ed Core Course: Gender, School and Society (GSS), a compulsory subject taught in the 2nd Semester across NCTE-approved B.Ed programs. Many universities also title this course as Gender Issues in Education, Gender and Schooling, or Education and Social Equity, and this book aligns fully with the national syllabus pattern.

This Hindi edition explains how gender roles, inequalities, stereotypes, and social expectations influence children’s lives both at home and in school. It helps trainee teachers understand the social construction of gender and how deeply rooted biases can impact education, participation, confidence, and overall development of learners—especially girls and marginalized groups.

Aligned with the official B.Ed Gender, School and Society syllabus, the book covers:

• Meaning of gender, sex, gender identity, and gender roles

• Social construction of gender & origin of stereotypes

• Gender discrimination in home, society, school, textbooks, and media

• How caste, class, religion, and culture influence gender equality

• Role of school, curriculum, teacher behavior & classroom practices in shaping gender attitudes

• Government policies and laws: RTE, POSH, Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, gender sensitization guidelines

• Creating gender-sensitive, inclusive, and safe learning environments

• Teacher’s role in ensuring equity, respect, and equal opportunities

The book uses simple Hindi explanations, real classroom examples, reflection questions, and practical strategies to help future teachers identify biases and promote fairness and equality in their classrooms.

This book is commonly used in the following B.Ed subjects:

• Gender, School and Society (GSS) – Core Course, 2nd Semester

• Gender Issues in Education – Foundation course

• Education and Social Equality modules

• Training workshops on inclusion and gender sensitivity

Overall, this Hindi edition provides a clear and practical understanding of gender issues in education, making it essential for the Gender, School and Society course in B.Ed programs.
