ABSTRACT
Education is an essential instrument to bring social revolution. It is the only remedy to bring about the desired social change in the society, at all levels and ages of children. Higher education is the third stage of education, which is acquired by the learners through the learning process. Sex biases are very common everywhere whether it is in educational institution, society in general and in home. Girls face the sex-bias in curriculum transaction, books, allocation of subjects, participation in activities etc. Poor family status and care of siblings and household chores at home are also considered the factors affecting education of girls. Minimising the above mentioned problems, girls in rural areas may achieve success in their higher education. Proper guidance and counselling to illiterate parents, fees concessions and other facilities offered for the rural girls regarding higher education and career development may also be keystones in the career of girls and their higher education.
