Abstract

Today many women are into employment and contributing significantly to the family income. But still working women are expected to look after the family and children as a primary responsibility. Working at home and outside creates work-family conflict. There are more than 20 engineering colleges in and around Nagpur and many of the faculties are female. The study aims to explore the problems of women teachers in engineering colleges. In present scenario there are many issues pertaining to teachers who are striving hard to maintain equilibrium at domestic level and also at work place. The present study would help the women teachers to increase awareness about these psycho-social problems and also provide for solutions to wipe them off and help them live dual life happily and satisfactorily.
