 ABSTRACT

Women are called the backbone of family and society. Women

play some significant role from their birth and till death. Women are
responsible for the successful contribution of the life on earth. In Vedic
time women was given lots of respect in Indian society. They are equally
given opportunities like man. Women had rights to take decision,
unmarried women are asked to attend school. But from the middle age
the condition of women was good and inferior practically. Women were
prohibited to take part in many domestic as well as some external matter.
But after independence gradually - the condition of women in Indian-
society was changed. Women started regaining their lost power and now
women as everywhere in the world such as political, education,
economic etc. Women get equal opportunities like men. The education
rights of women were promoted ad they were made aware of the value
education. The government provided several benefits to women such as
scholarship loan facilities, hostel facilities etc. Because through
education women have been able to participate in all aspect of society.
Despite of these facilities women in Indian society still face some
significant problems such as crime against women, gender
discrimination, dowry, domestic violence etc. Women empowerment is
the process of empowering women. It refers to improve the educational
gender, social, economical, political, spiritual strength of the women.
The main aim of women empowerment is to give women a chance to
shine and get equal right in society. Empowering women can take step
for themselves and also can decide what is good and what is bad for
oneself but also for the society. Education is the first step of women
empowerment. An Educated woman not only empowers herself but also
her family. They have great contribution for the growth of country and
its possible due to education. Through empowering women we can
remove crime against women not only in our society but also in the
country. There are various ways in how one can empower women.
Various programs must be held where they can be taught many skills for
make them both mentally and financially strong. Because a mentally and
financially strong women can face any challenges and provide support to
their family. Moreover they must also be given equal pay. Women
empowerment is essential for the development not only for the society
but also for the country. This paper will talk about the importance of
women empowerment and also how can government policies and
scheme help to empowering women.

CHAPTER -1

1.1 Meaning of Women Empowerment

Women empower is the major strength of woman. It is the
progression of woman and accepting and including them in the decision
making process. It means providing them with opportunities for growth
and development in the society. It is kind of holistic development of
women in a society. So that they can make their own decision or can
understand about their right and freedom and also they can live their life
the way they want, raise voice against crimes.
Women empowerment made women aware of their rights and how
they must make their own position in society rather than depending on a
man and also they would feel confident and independent.
We all know that women are the back bone of families and play
significant role to growth and development of communities.
Empowerment of women can be categorized into five categories. They
are social, educational, political economical and psychological. A
mother plays an important role for her children. She is the first teacher
of her child.
If she has proper education then she will teach properly to her
children. The empowerment of women is essential factor that helps to
growth not only the society but also the country. Women empowerment
has increased women power. It strengthens women to fight against
various crimes such as domestic violence rape, gender discrimination,
harassment etc.

1.2 Importance of Woman Empowerment

“There is no chance of the welfare of the world unless the condition,

of women is improved. It is not possible for a bird to fly on one
wins.” Swami Vivekananda

In ancient times women were highly respected and also they had
equal right with man. But from the middle age the respect women has
been decreased. Women did not have the same right as men, they just do
whatever society told them and they were supposed to do it. They did
not take decision for themselves. Due to the course of time things are
changed. In modern time women have essential contributions to the
economy. They play significant role to the growth and development of
not only in society but also for the country.

Women have been facing many challenges since their birth such as
fight for the right and freedom etc. Women empowerment means
encouraging women in various ways to live their life happily. Women
play significant role in community building. Now women have also been
proven to be successful entrepreneur like man. Their contribution are
lots to the growth of the country. In our country we have successful
women in various fields such as president, police, professors, doctors,
scientists, sportsman etc. although the role of women is significant in the
society. Women face numerous challenges such as gender
 PAGE-3

discrimination, violence against women (domestic violence, rape,

harassment, dowry death , acid attack) lack of proper education, proper
health care etc. to overcome those challenges and have an independent
role in society women empowerment is needed.
Empowering women is the fundamental right of women. It bring
economic and social growth. Women empowerment is essential for
overall development of society.

Position of Education and status of Women

2.1. Role of Education In Women Empowerment

Education is the Рrime Avenue of empowering women. This

process of empowering entails much more than awareness of
alternatives, women’s rights and the nature of the requirements. Through
education women have greater access to employment opportunities and
increase the ability to secure their own economic resources. Education is
basic human rights and it is the foundation of a free and fulfilled life. It
is the single most vital element in combating poverty safeguarding
children from exploitative and hazardous labor, promoting human rights
and democracy, protecting the environment and empowering women.
The importance of education for empowerment is undeniable. Education
is one of the most important factors that play the most crucial role in
claiming women's rights because it enables them to respond to
opportunities to challenge traditional roles and to change their lives. It
also bring awareness among women and girls about their rights and
gives self confidence. Educated women make the family and the society
cultured and capable of building such children who may lead the country
to the path of progress an prosperity.

2.2 Role and Status of women in India

The status of women in India has undergone significant changes in

recent years, but many challenges and inequalities also persist. In
ancient India women were traditionally viewed as inferior to man and
also were prohibited to take part in many domestic as well as external
matter. However during the Vedic period, women had higher status and
provided women rights to freedom than later periods.

Due to the course of time things were changed although in modern

India, women get achievement at a high level, women still face several
challenges and inequalities. Women continue to be disadvantaged in
many - areas, including education, job, and health care. In India women
face a significant challenges and that is gender based violence and also
domestic violence, rape, acid attacks are common in India. Also, India
has one of the highest rate of female infanticide. Women's participation
in public and politics like in India is also limited. While there have been
some respected female-political leaders in India, such as Pratibha
Devisingh Patil, and our current president Draupadi Murumu. They
represent the position and power of women. It has been seen that of
women in India has improved in recent years but significant of gender
inequalities remain.
