Transforming Lives through Home Science: A Study of its Impact on Indian Families

Author(s) Dr. Shikha Choudhary
Country India
Abstract This study explores the transformative impact of home science education on Indian families, focusing on its role in promoting healthy living, sustainable practices, and women's empowerment. Home science, an interdisciplinary field combining concepts from nutrition, textiles, home management, and family studies, has gained significant importance in India. The Indian government has initiated programs to promote home science education, particularly in rural areas, recognizing its potential to improve women's and families' lives. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis methods. A survey of 100 Indian families and in-depth interviews with 20 women who received home science education revealed significant impacts on families' lives. Specifically, home science education improved women's nutritional knowledge and practices, leading to better health outcomes. It also promoted sustainable practices, such as reducing food waste and conserving energy, and increased women's confidence and empowerment in managing household resources. The study's findings highlight home science education's transformative potential in promoting healthy living, sustainable practices, and women's empowerment in Indian families. The results have implications for policymakers, educators, and practitioners working in home science and women's empowerment. By promoting home science education, particularly in rural areas, India can empower women, improve family health, and promote sustainable development.
