CONSTITUTIONAL MEASURES AND GOVERNMENT POLICIES FOR WOMEN EMPOWERMENT IN INDIA

Women empowerment and gender equality are two sides of the same coin. Each has a number of parameters that together produce a wide range of indicators. It implies a parity-based exchange system. In India, which is ranked as the fourth-most hazardous country in the world for women, gender discrimination is one of the least concerning issues. It causes problems with things like illiteracy, poverty, inefficiency, ignorance, a lack of social control abilities, timorousness, etc. Women's status is closely related to their country's economic condition, which depends on their access to opportunities for economic activity involvement. Currently, it is considered that a society's economic standing is a good measure of its level of progress. By examining the social, economic, political, and religious privileges that women enjoyed, one may determine their true standing. This study examines the numerous programmes put out by the Indian government to empower women there. Numerous programmes are being carried out by the Indian government to increase access to jobs, education, healthcare, infrastructure development, etc. Some of these are flagship initiatives like the National Rural Health Mission, the Integrated Child Development Scheme, the SarvaSiksha Abhiyan, and the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme. The social standing of women in India is rising as a result.
