    (Itihasacharya V. K. Rajwade Sanshodhan Mandal, 2024) Phadte, Manisha; Rath, Seema P.
    Women's education is important to strengthen the economy. It is the right of all girls and young women to receive quality education. However, every female does not have access and can complete their education especially those belonging to ethnic groups which results into various negative outcomes. The present study aims to study the educational and health status of women belonging to Scheduled Tribe community in Goa state, India. Primary data of 121 ST women aged from 27 to 65 years has been used for this study. The results of the study shows that the educational status of ST women is low and their health condition is moderate in Goa. Thus, there is a need to take appropriate measures to improve their educational as well as health status.

    (Association of Pharmaceutical Teachers of India (APTI), 2026) Phadte, Manisha; Rath, Seema
    Non-communicable diseases are rapidly rising worldwide, causing serious public health concerns that must be addressed. Past studies exhibit the relation between education and the prevalence of non-communicable diseases and the associated risk factors. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the influence of female education on risk factors such as overweight/ obesity, increased blood sugar, elevated blood pressure, tobacco and alcohol use linked to the incidence of non-communicable diseases across 28 states of India by using the data from National Family Health Survey 5. Materials and Methods: The present study uses National Family Health Survey 5 (2019-21) data. Different groups of female education and various risk factors resulting in non-communicable diseases have been considered to analyse their association. Results: Linear regression analysis revealed a statistically significant association between female education and the risk factors for non-communicable diseases except for alcohol consumption. Conclusion: Education is linked to overweight/obesity, increased blood sugar and elevated blood pressure among females. Therefore, effective awareness programs and promotional activities along with improvement in female education need to be undertaken to help women self-manage risk factors causing non-communicable diseases.
