Introduction refers to the empowerment of women, providing the necessary rules and the rights of women to own. Traditionally, Indian women were likely to become workers or employees to serve the people – the dominant world. Even in mythology, there is no equality between the sexes and women have been denied their rights to receive property, education, privacy, social status and they were never deemed to be participants to development works. Empowerment is the process of strengthening the capacities of women, creating an atmosphere that allows people to realize their creative potential. Empowerment is the ability to influence decision-making, planning, implementation and evaluation. The status of women empowerment in India with the help of various indicators, such as women’s household decision-making power, financial autonomy, freedom of movement, political participation, acceptance of the role of unequal gender, media exposure, access to education, experience of violence in the family, etc. based on data from different sources. Gender gap exists in access to education and employment. decision making of households and freedom of movement of women varies according to age, education and employment status. What is the empowerment ? empowerment are diverse and relate to these policies, to enable women to their full potential. They are made from better access to knowledge and resources, greater autonomy in decision-making, greater capacity, their lives, more control over the circumstances that the factors affecting their life and, ultimately, that would free from the chains of habit, beliefs and practices influence the plan. If they are aware of the oppression inflicted on them and show initiative forward, it would not be able to change their status much. economic and social empowerment of women has been since the beginning of this decade, much of women’s empowerment has been achieved in economic and social development. An increasing amount of development funding has been devoted to achieving this goal. Consequently, many countries in the region could increase female literacy and enrollment rates, improving gender equality in education, reducing child mortality and children, lowering the ratio maternal mortality and increase access to reproductive health services. Women’s participation in official activities of the economy has also improved significantly. 1 The increase in economic participation / strong> Economic Empowerment is a cornerstone in the efforts to a general strengthening of women. Participation in official activities of the economy, under conditions in which the productive capacity of women to think and control their own income, are some of the most important aspects of economic empowerment. Despite the increasing participation of women at work was in part the growth of overall employment expansion in export-led economic activity rate of women created so far tended to on the East Asia Man of the Pacific region to increase, suggesting that women’s participation in the economy was an essential feature of the region’s quest for economic empowerment of women was. second indicators of social development / strong> The birth rate has declined in the region, although the birth rate to stay together and the average number of children per woman (four) in several countries of the region. The birth rate, on average, remains high in Asian countries where female literacy is low and opportunities for participation outside of work is limited. Therefore, it is increasingly accepted that in addition to considering the overall economic growth and the availability of health and birth control devices, birth rates also serve as a proxy for the empowerment of women General. Because these rates are closely related to literacy and educational attainment of women, age at marriage, and other important characteristics of the situation of women.

3, access to technology, including the Improving access to productive resources and social support systems, the a fundamental element of efforts to empower women in the region. access to productive resources such as credit, technology, marketing infrastructure links, and networking opportunities to further significantly increase opportunities for women in formal economic activities and improve their social status. In this respect, to promote access to new and emerging technologies, especially information technology and communications, has a powerful tool for the empowerment of women. Women in India Although in the Vedic period women had access to education in India, they had gradually lost that right. But in the British period, there has been renewed interest in women’s education in India. But the education of women should give new momentum after the country gained independence in 1947 and the government has several measures to ensure education for all Indian women did. As a result of increased female literacy rates in the past three decades and the growth of literacy among women is higher because the rate of male literacy. If in 1971 only 22% of Indian women were literate, the end of 2001 54th 16% of women were literate. The growth rate of illiteracy among women is 14 to 11 to 87% for comparison. 72% literacy rate for men. Discrimination still in India and there is still much to be done in the field of women’s education in India. The gap in literacy rates between men and women is a simple display. Although the male literary exceeds 75% according to the 2001 census estimates the level of female literacy only 16% of 54th. The women’s movement in India The women’s movement in India is a rich and dynamic movement, the different forms in different parts of the country took over . The lack of a coherent motion rather than a source of weakness, one of the strengths of the movement. Although scattered and fragmented, there is a strong movement and plural. Over the 18 years that India has a woman as Prime Minister the country has also been increasing incidents of violence and discrimination against women had. This is no different than any other time: A visitor to any Indian city – for example, Mumbai – Hundreds of women, see the work of young and old, all types of professions: doctors , nurses, teachers, engineers, scientific papers … yet in India are full of stories about violent incidents against women, rape, sexual harassment, even murder. But a woman in the highest office in the state have the same time have extreme violence against women are both ends of the scale. As always, lies a complex between the two. Fifty-six years ago, when India became independent, it was generally accepted that the battle was fought for freedom both by women than by men. One way MK Gandhi chose the authority has been weakened by the British for the Indians to defy the law made it illegal for them to make salt. At the time, the salt-making was a monopoly and earn substantial revenue for the British. Gandhi began his campaign by clicking on March 1 – Salt March – through many villages and taken to the sea, where he broke the law, among others, by the salt. No woman had Gandhi was imprisoned in his chosen number of demonstrators. But women nationalists protested and they forced him to allow them to participate. Women in Indian politics is hardly news that women are under-represented in Indian politics. The issue came to light strongly in recent years, partly because of the move upset the supply of one-third quota for women in legislative bodies, including Parliament, with the most success in this subject moves elections in rural panchayats to enforce. Of course, such a question is of course even more during a period of elections, as well. What emerged clearly established in the electoral process very long course, is how little changed on one level since independence. Candidates from different political parties in the field is still dominated by men: women represent only five per cent of all applicants on the parties and the ten regions. The same pattern that was almost in range of 12 general elections in the country observed.

The Constitution (84th Amendment) Bill in relation to the subject of women in the last year. The fact that most parties expressly for the benefit of pressure so that the reservation was to have the same proportion of women share, as always, and certainly no more than other parties that the bill was rejected . The Congress Party, led by a woman and would push reservation for women in only 10 per cent women candidates, known so far. For the BJP, the proportion of women among the candidates even lower at 7 per cent. Even in the case of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), only 7 percent of applicants are women. Then a greater importance in terms of political power, as the share of women in the fight against the Lok Sabha polls, the importance of women in the party’s internal structures. Here, women in general are still underrepresented in all parties. Only in the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK), he has a conscious movement, was to bring many more women in decision-making levels and functions within the party. In most parts of women are members of large and thin on the ground, otherwise invisible in the real decision-making bodies and rarely affect the policies of other major parties. Generally yes, they are banned from “women’s wing of the party and set out what to focus in particular in view of” women’s issues “such as dowry and rape cases, and sometimes the general concerns leads to price increases are considered to affect mainly housewives. Is the political participation of women not only go a long way, but ultimately can not do everything What a lot has to do with the carnival periodic Indian electoral democracy. This is not to say that the representation of women voters al is important, but it is also very deep and wider than the current manifestation in the form of removing the highlighting some women should occupy management positions. WOMEN’S Panchayati Raj The 73rd constitutional amendment adopted in December 1992 (the 74th Amendment and its sister communities) made the provisions more drastic terms of positive measures to create equal competition conditions for the participation of women in public affairs. For all elective offices in the three-tier system of Panchayati Raj (and communities), Part IX and IX- In the Indian Constitution mandates third reservation for women. These historic and radical constitutional provisions have few counterparts in democracies worldwide. passed from the first round of elections to panchayats by the laws of the compliance of State in 1994, nearly one million elected women are constitutionally mandated functions of government. In most states in the third round of the Panchayat elections begin later this year (except Jharkhand, the singular distinction of constitutional challenges not the property of the Panchayat elections came again) , and nearly three million elected women is a public figure would have bought in local institutions. The importance of which can be read only by the absence of such constitutional provisions regarding the elected positions in the provincial assemblies and national parliaments. It is therefore appropriate to question, what difference the choice of women panchayats have to ask. This solution is particularly relevant today (September 23, 2004 user> / strong>) that the third round table conference of ministers. empowerment of women through self-help: The participation of women through SHGs in the northern Tamil Nadu.
