Abstract

Murshidabad enjoyed a rich history in terms of trade, industry, agriculture, politics, education, and culture during a protracted span of the ancient and medieval periods. Currently, however, the district stands far behind other regions of the nation in terms of socioeconomic, cultural, and educational characteristics. Murshidabad District's general collapse started with the fall of Nawabi rules during the Battle of Plassey in 1757. Bengali Muslims who had previously held political and socioeconomic sway in the region lost both with the arrival of British administration. This place's population lacks awareness because of the educational system's backwardness. In the district, women participate at a far lower rate than males do, both in terms of economic activity and literacy. Expanding women's access to education is necessary to improve their situation.
