Women Empowerment is a major social phenomenon which requires an understanding of its multi-dimensional influence on the society and counterparts of Society. Corporate Sector forms a major part as it involves social economic factors. In today’s corporate world Women are competing at par with their male peer and are also recognizing their talent and providing equal opportunities to them but Companies still are facing challenges of managing its women employees which has become a critical and significant issue in every organization. Women empowerment helps in reduction of poverty and achieving global targets in meeting Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The corporate firms are playing a significant role in empowering women through different ways and means to get organizational benefit as well as countries benefit. The study describes the factors influencing women empowerment, which in turn helps to increase the women empowerment to determine the status and benefits of women empowerment in corporate sector. The study found that the empowerment of Women in the organization provides the benefits of self-reliance and financial independence. Women lacks political stability and this may be due to male dominance prevailing in the politics of corporate and so only, few could reach the management and leadership positions. Companies can concentrate on special training facilities to women as a part of corporate social responsibility for enhancing their skills and confidence levels. To ensure that their skills and experience are fully used in policymaking at all levels, capacity-building efforts should pay attention to the needs of women. Many women after attaining qualified professional degrees cannot work due to family pressure, loaded responsibility etc. True Women Empowerment is help seeking jobs to women who have not worked for years and are facing lot of hardships starting fresh. Moreover, women must be economically and socially empowered through focussed efforts. Statistics showed the overall picture of gender inequality in India is stark and the way out is not to camouflage reality by resolving to tokenism and parading exceptions, but tackling problems head on. But mere Government intervention is not enough. Better results can be produced by determined women citizens empowering themselves and being encouraged to do so by enlightened segments of society and public opinion. Government of India's policy on women development has undergone various shift of emphasis since independence. The most significant changes occurred during the Fifth Five Year Plan with the shift from welfare to development. During the Eighth Plan, there was a renewed emphasis on development of women as equal partners in the development process. Today, with focus on inclusive growth, there is a heightened awareness about inclusiveness and empowerment. Women need to empower themselves from below, and this calls for a change of values and behaviour and the need for economic empowerment. All problems centre around inequality and therefore, steps to promote equality of treatment and full integration of women in the development of the country must be promoted.

This paper highlights how the women especially in India from ancient times were the real managers of environment conservation and protection. The paper investigates the journey of women as an agent of protecting the environment thus the trailblazers. Women who were part of the early movements in the area of environment protection and preservation inspite of not being so educated or probably illiterate but still did not give up their mission and made a difference in society by their contribution. In 21st Century where the world is confronted with very serious environmental issues women are taking lead through their NGOs and Startups to apply innovative solutions to tackle various environmental issue and to bring sustainable development.

Environmental issues are universal problems that continue to get attention of every well-meaning individual .In this research paper researcher is trying to underline the role of mother and their children in minimizing environmental issues. There is need for interdisciplinary venture including women and children, to face the challenge. Efforts must be needed on how we can manage our environment properly. Children spent more time with parents, especially with mothers, they can be sensitized in home related to environment issues. Mothers can sensitize the children through folktale narration session, environment based festival celebration which entails narration of folktales at home during relaxation and children are shown causes and effects of environment degradation. The children can be used as agents of change in various families and communities. Consequently the world becomes the better place to live in for humans, animals and plants habitation.

Empowerment of women means the process to make women economically, socially, educationally, psychologically and politically strong as they are traditionally underprivileged ones in the society. It is the process of protecting them against all forms of social violence. Womenempowerment involves the building up of anew society in which women can breathe freely and explore their maximum potentialin atraditionally male dominated existing society. Women constitute almost 50% of the world’s population but India has shown disproportionate male female ratio. The female population is comparatively lower than males. As far as their social status isconcerned, they are not treated as equal to men in all the sphere of life. Whereas in the Western societies, the women have got equal right andstatus with men in all walks of life. The grave gender discriminations are found in India even today. Thus this article has explained the women’s achievers of India who have come out of all the present days odd and emerged as successful women in Indianorthodox societyof India. It has employed the methodology of case studies quoted from life achievements of great women’s achievers of India, along with an analysis of secondary data collected from several scientific and nonscientific sources.

Historically, women have been oppressed throughout the world. However, it was and still is more prevalent in India as compared to western nations. Since the biases against women are so deeply rooted in India, even standing toe to toe with men can be difficult for many women. The trailblazers mentioned in this paper are a few of the many fighting against this bias.

Kamala Das is one of the leading Indian English woman poets who writes with strong feminist perspective. Her poetry discovers the best articulation of feminine sensibility and its suppression in a male dominated society. Kamala Das’s poems exhibits courage and a determined spirit through her inherent creative ability to fight against the illogical traditional norms that are designed to dominate women. Her bold and fearless exhibition of self is incomparable and therefore she is an inspiration for every Indian woman to fight for her own rights, empowerment, self-identity, self-dignity and equality of status. Her poems not only are read as a feminist perspective but are also considered as a source for women empowerment. This paper tries to analyse the poetic works of Kamala Das in the light of Feminist perspective. This study would also throw light on literature as an instrument for social rectification and woman empowerment.

Men and women are the two pillars of the society. The progress of the society, Nation as well as the world is in the hands of Men and women. In ancient India, it is remarkable that both have equal status. Women like Gargi, Maitreyi known as ‘vidushi’ (scholar lady) also we finds the proof of women artist from ancient era. The social conditions was same before British rule in India. Rajmata Jijai, Ahilya bai Holkar like many women known as good manager. Seeds of discrimination were there in Indian society due to imperialist attacks, grow rapidly after ‘Divide and rule’ policy of British rulers reached in the Indian families. Socio – economic condition of Indian Women changed. Some women who received support of the family can show their talent ( Dr. Aanandi Joshi, Sarojini Naidu) and try to change the mind of society.

Financial literacy involves an individual’s ability to interpret and understand basic financial concepts and apply that knowledge to make informed decisions related to finance in their day to day activities as also applicable as lifelong learners. As per Human Development Report 2021-22 India ranked 132 with 0.633 HDI value where 19.2% is labour force participation rate of women (age 15 & above) and 13.4 % seat share in parliament. In total population 94 is the sex ratio (2012 census) means out of 100 male members in the society women are 94, whereas National Family Health Survey 5 (2019-21) recently says its 929 i.e out of 1000 male members 929 is the number of female members exists. Hence women empowerment is the need of the hour for better development of the society and economy as a whole. Life skill educational practices involve developing leadership, communication, collaboration, cooperation and management skills in day to day activities, all of which are extremely important for personal development of students, especially for girls. There are many benefits to being financially literate which brings more development, innovation through use of more technologies and more economic cum social prosperity. The key role students would be playing is saving, managing pocket money, understanding the power of compounding, accumulating wealth, learning debt and even retirement planning. Financially literate students are able to understand better macroeconomic problems and make informed decisions related to fiscal and monetary policies, scope and limitations of new start-ups and how to take calculated risks. Based on this research, I would like to bring the impact of financial literacy programme on financial autonomy in school girls’ students for economic empowerment. Hence financial literacy and financial autonomy should be encouraged and practiced in school years and it should be included in school education, where students learn & engage more.

Women contribute in the building and development of a nation. They play a significant role in the making of the civilized Society. The focal point of the family is also a woman. In Indian society the place of women has always been dignified along with changes in social conditions over time. They have been gone through different situations. They have faced situations in which they were sometimes considered worthy of worship and sometimes were treated animalisticallyand as slaves. The development of any society is directly related to the development of the women in the society. Development of individual, family and society cannot be imagined without the development of women. The evil practices such as patriarchy, dowry system, harassment, inequality, feticide, domestic violence against women, trafficking, prostitution etc. that violate their rights and values in the society must be eradicatedThe paper offers reflections on issues and challenges that women face and deal with, to perform their role in the Panchayati Raj Institutions(PRIs) with special reference to Bhind district in Madhya Pradesh.

The ratio of participation of women lawmakers in politics is a need of an hour in order to pass many unbiased and gender-neutral laws by the legislatures. As we are celebrating 75thyear of Independence as “Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav”, we need a Mahotsav where women’s participation in politics could be equal to their male counterparts and this participation is not required to show the supremacy of women’s or to decrease the supremacy of men’s in politics, but to have equal say and share in passing any legislation. We as a union and democratic state of India must consider and hear every citizen’s voice and point of perception before making and implementing any decision so the social fabric of the country be maintained and remain intact. We will be analyzing turnouts of both male and female voters from since the first Loksabha election in India till the latest election held in the year 2019 and would be understanding the participation of women’s aselectoral as well as elected lawmakers in parliament. We will try to understand whether the participation of women in parliament is according to the population ofwomen in India and whether they have been appropriately represented in our Indian democracy and would also like to direct some suggestions in order to resolve the disbalance in the representation of women in politics, if any.

The empowerment of women is currently one of the most important topics of the 21st century. Yet, women's emancipation remains a fantasy. We see in daily life how different societal ills target women as victims. A nation's social, economic, or political development will stall if women are not involved in national affairs. Women make up half of humankind and labour for 2/3rd of world’s working hours. She owns less than 1/10th of the world's resources and barely earns1/3rdof the global income. This demonstrates how miserable women's economic standing isin a country like India. Women's empowerment involves strengthening women's rights to all their social, economic, and educational requirements. Its objective is to give women access to a gender-neutral atmosphere. To give them equal rights in the workplace, family, society, and community. The current paper seeks to examine the state of women's empowerment in India and underlines the problems and obstacles that remain. The study's conclusion states that women's empowerment is only made possible through access to education, employment, and participation in social, political, and economic life of the nation with sense of equity.

Working class urban Indian women now comprise a large proportion of the urban workforce, however, traditional domestic gender roles remain the same. When we talk of women empowerment it more often than not implies that women who were once at home, tied to domestic work, now have the opportunity to go outside of the home and become an earning member. This is good for the economy, their families, and the society at large. What often gets overlooked in this argument is the fact that while women contribute financially to the home and the economy, it’s not as if their domestic roles have been eliminated. Infact, their duties have just been added to. While before, women had the time to rest in between their housework, now they have housework as well as office work and very little time to rest. The addition of office work for women has not led to a corresponding increase in the proportion of domestic work done by men. This is one of the big challenges in women empowerment as while it has empowered women in many ways, fatigue and physical exertion on account of additional duties has reduced overall wellbeing of women while providing an illusion of empowerment. Traditional gender roles have remained relatively unchanged despite women entering the workforce which has led to an increase in the responsibilities of women and doubled their workload.

Women represent half the entire population and one-third of the work force, they earn only one-tenth of the global income and less than one percent of world property, and does two-thirds of all working hours. Still, day in and day out, our conscience is shocked by news of the violation of human rights of women. Such an approach provides the women with a constitutional platform to stand up to men, to raise their voice on issues concerning women oppression, subjugation and related issues and thus in effect, providing them with an identity in an orthodox male dominated socio-political set up, in addition to providing a much-needed forum to seek redressal of problems directly affecting them: the true essence of empowerment. The process of empowerment is multi-dimensional and it enables women to realise their full destiny and powers in all spheres of life. A woman’s empowerment begins with consciousness—perceptions about herself and her rights, her capabilities and her potentials, awareness of how gender and socio-cultural and political forces affect her. To come out of this darkness and to prove her worthy Empowering women was the only solution and need of the hour.

Empowerment of women has emerged as an important issue in recent time. As per the latest Census in the year 2011, the total female sex ratio in India is 940 per 1000 males. The population of India is more than 1.21 billion and out of this, women constitute nearly 50% of the total population, Women empowerment in India is a much debated topic. The empowerment of women is being regarded these days as a very important aspect for the development of the country. Empowering women aims to inspire them and persuade them to come out from different adverse conditions, be it societal or religious, that have traditionally kept them suppressed and unable to see their true strength, power and beauty. We are living in the modern era, even though; today in the rural areas women are suffering from various problems in different fields of life. New Media plays an important and vital role in women’s empowerment and its development. Media can create an awakening inspiration to achieve their potential as a prime source of change in the society we live in. With the growing dominance of the Internet, blog, chat, Social sites etc, the use of New Media has already begun and consequently, communication is rapidly changing and becoming mobile, interactive, personalized and multi-channel. The Internet has served as a vehicle or as a channel to convey information in a useful and easy to understand manner. This extraordinary revolution is affecting the basic structure of societies, and is raising discussions and debates that are profoundly related to women: the rapid transformation of the boundaries between the public and the private spaces, the relationship between the new media and women’s empowerment. New Media is considered as an important source in helping the women empowered. It is helping as the important source and access to speak out against the oppression and marginalization of women at the grass root level. The media is considered as the most potent and influential mean in this regard as it has the capacity of persuading and molding opinion. The relationship of the media and the women is important because whatever image women have in our country is influenced by media... It is thus vital, to utilize the media for the improving the status of women in India and divulging their role in national development. Basically, this paper deals with empowerment of women through the New Media (Internet). Empowerment of women led to the development of the family, community, society, state and nation. This paper will specially highlight the positive perception and use of New Media as a development tool to empower the women.

The success of any educational institution is primarily determined by the pass percentage of students and the placement record of the institution. Thus, in order to mould students in the right way, the role of teachers is very important. Teaching faculty can contribute their full potential and efficiency for the development of their pupils, while they derive high level of job satisfaction. Job satisfaction, in turn depends on an efficient way of managing their work and family commitments.

Women have been suppressed since centuries. India particularly has a patriarchal set up where women are seen second to men. While there is a section of our society that encourages women empowerment, people largely continue to suppress and oppress them. There are numerous barriers to the empowerment of women in India because of the mindset of some of the narrow-minded people living here. In India, women are expected to act and behave in a certain manner. Even as our nation has progressed over the time, women in our country are not truly liberated. They are still expected to stay in limits and act as per the rules defined by our patriarchal society. All this acts as a barrier to the empowerment of women in India. Day in and day out, our conscience is shocked by news of the violation of human rights of women. Such an approach provides the women with a constitutional platform to stand up to men, to raise their voice on issues concerning women oppression, subjugation and related issues and thus in effect, providing them with an identity in an orthodox male dominated socio-political set up. The decision-makers and the hierarchy below them are also male- dominated and hence women are not considered a part of society, and the rules made only favour the men. Not just India, the world is patriarchal, but unfortunately India today is now becoming a more and more unequal society and an unsafe and unharmonious place for women. The process of empowerment is multi-dimensional and it enables women to realise their full destiny and powers in all spheres of life. A woman’s empowerment begins with consciousness—perceptions about herself and her rights, her capabilities and her potentials,

This paper emphasises the status of women empowerment in India and highlights the challenges of Women Empowerment. Today the empowerment of Women has become one of the most important concerns of 21st century. Women Empowerment means emancipation of women f rom the vicious grips of social, economical, political, caste and gender based discrimination.

The study is based on purely from secondary sources. The study reveals that women of India are relative ly disempowered and they enjoy somewhat lower status than that of the men inspite of many efforts undertaken by the Government. The study concludes by an observation that access to Education, Employment and change in social structure are only the enabling factors to Women Empowerment.

Women play a vital role in today's workforce and continue to break barriers, but many women experience discrimination and are ignored for senior roles because of the glass ceiling effect. Women’s empowerment can be defined to promoting women’s sense of self-worth, their ability to determine their own choices, and their right to influence social change for themselves and others. Women Empowerment helps women to take their own decisions by breaking all the limitations of the family and the society. The term "glass ceiling" is a metaphor for the barriers that women and people of colour face when striving to move upward in the workplace. Glass ceiling states both visible and invisible obstacles that stops women from proceeding to the top positions. This study is an attempt to study the glass ceiling effect and women empowerment.

India’s Constitution guarantees free primary school education for both boys and girls up to age 14. This goal has been repeatedly reconfirmed, but primary education in India is not universal. Overall, the literacy rate for women is 39 percent versus 64percent for men with less than 40 percent of the 330 million women aged seven and above being literate, according to the 1991 census, which means today there are over 200 million illiterate women in India.

Women empowerment is basically the creation of an environment where women can make independent and free decisions on their personal development as well as for development of family and Nation. Empowerment would be achieved only when digital knowledge increases the conditions of women in the direction of social change gained through equal opportunities in economic, social and political spheres of life. This paper attempts to know the Knowledge of digital technology helps in gaining empowerment of women in family, society, working environment, Economic development, and career of working women.

Autobiography is a record of the life story of an individual. The writer describes various experiences which he has come across. The writer narrates his owns story and writes about himself/herself.

Science, technology and innovation can play a very important role in meeting internationally agreed developmental goals. However, they cannot effectively facilitate equitable and sustainable development unless the aims, concerns, situations and abilities of women as well as men are considered in formulating science, technology and innovation policies. Technology and innovation present us new opportunities that never existed before. Not only do they help progress the economy and people’s livelihood they also serve as a powerful tool to increase awareness creating space for social movements and making everyone’s voice heard. It is undeniable that technology and innovation have contributed to the democratization of access to information and opportunity. But it is true only to a certain extent. If we look closer women and girls across continents have inadequate and limited access to technology. The exclusion of women from science has been historically witnessed by the world for a long time and their participation is still not in parity of expectation. The negative attitude that is held against women pertaining to science and technology remains active due to the influence of socio-psychological parameters. The barriers to women’s access to technology and innovation lies in the structural issues, poverty, gender discrimination and digital illiteracy. The lack of such access translates to a lack of information, updates, opportunities and the skills necessary to adapt to the changing circumstances. Proper monitoring, proper informing and creating necessary work conditions in the field of science and technology can help reduce gender inequality. As the pandemic led to a surge in the use of digital technologies in education, it also revealed staggering gender gaps in access to and use of digital technology all around the world. Indeed, gender-based exclusion is present throughout the technological world. However, the pandemic showed that learning can occur anywhere and anytime. Innovative solutions are at finger tips and we have an opportunity now to leverage and grasp global experiences to deliver quality learning for gift.

Additionally, it can lead to better job prospects, increased income and greater financial independence by using various online platforms. However, there are still significant barriers to digital literacy for women, including unavailability of technology, lack of knowledge of using technology, culture and social norms, gender-based violence through online. By considering the above challenges it is essential to achieve gender equality and empower women through digital litera

There is no denying the fact that the past three decades have witnessed a steadily increasing awareness of the need to empower women through measures to increase social, economic and political equality and broader access to fundamental human rights, improvements in nutrition, basic health and education. The present paper introduces the impact of government policies for women’s social and economic development. On the basis of the data collected the degree of empowerment is compared in the rural and urban areas. And it is measured on four indices; women’s mobility and social interaction; women’s labour patterns; women’s access to control over resources and women’s control over decision making.

Economic development of women implies a better quality of material life through sustainable livelihoods owned and managed by women. It means reducing their financial dependence on male counterparts by making them a significant part of the human resource.
