摘要

Scientific temper and cultural systems are relevant for today. Spread of Scientific temper in society is much more important than the spread of science and technology. It is of universal applicability and has to permeate through our society as the dominant value system powerfully influencing the way we think and approach our problems - political, economical, cultural and educational. In our country, women are the most vulnerable section of the society. Poor nutritional status and health conditions are the most important problems among women. There are many factors behind this unique problem. It is believed that proper science education will be helpful for the improvement of this adverse situation of women. Science education helps to break superstitions and conventional ideas strengthen analytical and logical thinking. In order to understand the socio-economic status and nutritional condition and effect of science education on women's attitude to life and also scientific temper among women, a sample survey was conducted. It can be concluded from this study that science education for women has undergone remarkable improvement in recent years. But, in our country, socio-economic status and health and nutrition status's in respect of science education is rather scarce. In West Bengal, there is still much to be done for upliftment of their status in the society.
