Thus the knowledge which is provided in school must not discriminatory and binary. The present research paper tries to draw attention on such issues which have been neglected from the very beginning in Indian education system. Hence the aim of this paper is to suggest inclusion of Gender Education in school curriculum at early stage of schooling so that a gender neutral inclusive environment could be developed within school and outside.
