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 examined the impact of policies and initiatives designed to empower women, fostering their active involvement in governance. The study also identified women who had performed well as panchayat leaders.
