Study on Empowerment of Women with Special Reference to Governance at Grass-Root Level
The Centre has conducted a study focused on the empowerment of women, with particular emphasis on their role in governance at the grass-root level. The study aimed to explore how women's participation in local governance structures, such as Panchayats and municipal bodies, contributes to decision-making processes and community development. It highlights the challenges women face in accessing leadership roles, including societal norms, limited resources, and lack of support. The study also examines the impact of policies and initiatives designed to empower women, fostering their active involvement in governance. By identifying key barriers and enablers, the study provides valuable insights into strengthening women’s leadership and enhancing their contribution to effective governance at the grassroots level.
