Abstract: This study looks at how home science education helps Indian families change their lives for the better. It focuses on how home science helps promote healthy living, eco-friendly habits, and women’s confidence. Home science is a mix of subjects like nutrition, clothes, home management, and family care. It has become very important in India. The government runs many programs to spread home science education, especially in villages, because it helps women and their families live better. To understand the effect, we used both numbers (quantitative data) and personal stories (qualitative data). We surveyed 100 Indian families and talked in detail to 20 women who studied home science. The results showed that home science education helped women improve their knowledge about healthy food and how to use it well, which led to better health for families. It also encouraged them to use fewer resources, save energy, and throw away less food. Women became more confident and empowered to manage their homes. The study shows that home science education can improve health, promote eco-friendly habits, and empower women in Indian families. The findings are useful for government officers, teachers, and others who work in home science and women’s welfare. By spreading home science education, especially in villages, India can help women feel more independent, improve family health, and support eco-friendly development.
