This study examines the impact of education on women's economic empowerment and the ways in which this empowerment manifests in the form of sustainable business practices. In order for a society to thrive, education is essential. It has a major bearing on the development of people, groups, and countries. Gaining an education not only helps the disadvantaged, but it also boosts productivity, understanding, and competence. Changes in mindset are possible outcomes of educational opportunities for women. Many rural women have spoken out about wanting to be financially independent since joining SHGs. Financial independence is the main objective of SHGs. Better health care, higher literacy rates, and improved family planning are just a few of the many externalities that result from financially independent self-employment. It improves one's overall health and social status as well. The essay delves into the ideas of education, specifically women's education and high-quality education, as means to achieve sustainable development. Sustainable development and the empowerment of women are also addressed. Furthermore, it demonstrates that education tremendously empowers women, which in turn supports sustainable development. This article suggests high-quality educational opportunities to empower women to participate more actively in sustainable development on all fronts: social, economic, and political.
