Abstract

Management is an age old skill, which was historically an attribute of the upper strata of society, involved in administration and rule. Initially, this skill was not recognized as something to be taught or to be trained. Instead, it was attributed to the in born qualities of a person. In India, the skill of management gained prominence in twentieth century during Indian industrial revolution. As, the rapid growth in trade, commerce and production, requires a huge management potential. Their arose a great demand of skilled managers to fulfill the need of young and fast growing economy. Women, the major half of Indian society could identify the potential of management skill and shared a keen interest in this area. In the context of traditional mindset of gender biased Indian society, it becomes interesting to study the participation of Indian women in the management faculty of higher education, It can be safely concluded that, over the considered period of study, all categories of women have shown increasing interest in the management stream. When we observe category wise trend, we see that general category trend time in figure one lies clearly above the other two categories; which means that there is a great scope for improvement in the conditions and facilities for scheduled caste and scheduled tribe women to improve their Enrolment percentage in higher management studies. Increasing trend of women enrolment percentage in higher management studies in all social categories respectively and in totality is the positive sign towards increased social, personal and professional awareness as well as appreciation by Indian women of their career prospects via higher management education.
