Abstract
This research paper delves into the complex interplay between economic disparities and educational opportunities in India. It scrutinizes the multifaceted nature of economic inequalities, encompassing income divides, rural-urban disparities, caste-based discrepancies, and gender gaps, and their profound impact on access to quality education. Drawing upon statistical data, government reports, and academic studies, the paper explores the correlation between socioeconomic status and educational attainment. It examines challenges faced by marginalized communities in accessing education, highlights government initiatives, and proposes strategies to address these disparities. The conclusion underscores the necessity for comprehensive approaches involving infrastructure development, targeted scholarships, technological integration, community engagement, and teacher capacity building to mitigate the influence of economic disparities on educational opportunities in India.
