The empowerment of tribal women is a crucial component of achieving gender equality and inclusive development. Despite their significant economic and social contributions, tribal women continue to face disparities in education, income, and decision-making power. The present study examines the level of empowerment among tribal women and analyzes its relationship with selected socio-economic variables such as education, employment, and income. A quantitative research design was adopted, and data were collected from 120 tribal women using a structured questionnaire. Statistical tools including percentage analysis, independent sample t-test, chi-square test, Pearson’s correlation, and a composite Women Empowerment Index (WEI) were employed. The reliability of the instrument was tested using Cronbach’s Alpha. The findings reveal that education and employment significantly influence empowerment levels, and income is positively correlated with empowerment. The study highlights the need for targeted policy interventions to strengthen gender equality among tribal women.
