Abstract
Indian society has historically been patriarchal and conservative. As a result, Gender stereotypes have existed since time immemorial. The purpose of this article is to analyze the role that education can play in eliminating this contemporary social issue. It aims at altering the existing education policy of India in this context. This alteration will aim at sensitizing gender identities by deconstructing stereotypical notions passed on to everyone in society since childhood through the current education policy.
