A Study on Women Empowerment in India

Women's empowerment is essential for the social, economic, and political advancement of any country. In India, the significance of women's empowerment has increased due to rising awareness, broader access to education, government programs, and social reforms. Ensuring the empowerment of women leads to equal opportunities, rights, and involvement in decision-making processes. This research aims to explore the concept, dimensions, status, challenges, and progress of women's empowerment in India. The study is descriptive and relies on secondary data gathered from books, academic journals, reports, and government documents. The findings indicate that while notable advancements have occurred in areas such as education, employment, and legal rights, women still encounter obstacles like gender disparity, restricted decision-making authority, socio-cultural hurdles, and economic reliance.
