Women Empowerment
Since beginning, Indian constitution has always given due
consideration to the women category. The
Eighth plan of Indian Planning claimed to provide benefits form
the economic development to women equally. Ninth and Tenth Plans
also emphasized on empowerment of women.
Rashtriya Mahila Kosh was set up in1993 to help the economically
poor and deserving women.
Empowerment refers to freedom to choose and action in economic,
social and political fields. Initially women had no control over
his decisions and assets due to the prevailed inequalities in
the society. For elevating the status of the women
in Indian society, it is mandatory that women possess
educational and vocational abilities. Along with it she must
have the capability to systematize and organize the things. The
status of the women has improved considerably in Indian society
but even in the present situation, varied inequalities between
men and women exist.
It is very unfortunate but true that in the Indian society the
girl has to face discrimination for
the whole life. In the low-income category the girl is
considered as a burden. Even the basic facilities like education, nutritious
food, and medical assistance are curtailed to her. Not only in
poor class but also in middle class and high class, son is
preferred than daughter. These conditions are setback for the
empowering of women issue.
Poverty is another culprit in attaining the goal of women
empowerment. Poverty has definitely more impact on women than
men. Several poverty mitigation programs are trying to solve the
problems of the poor women. Among the total population living
under poverty line, 70% is women. Besides the existing programs,
several new approaches are necessary for the eradication of
poverty. This would in turn improve the position of the women in
the Indian society.
Empowerment of women is a gradual and complicated process. It
involves changing the way of thinking of the whole society. From
long time it has been stamped on the minds of the people that
women are inferior to men. It is not easy to change the stubborn
attitude of the people. In rural India, Women have inadequate
access to education, health facilities, healthy diet etc.
Out of total women population, more than 55% is in the age group
of 15-59. This group constitutes financially
independent women. The policy of empowerment must consider
this group preferably because if a women is financially
independent her status in the society will also be far above the
ground. The women between 15-59 must involve themselves
in development process in each sphere.
In India gradually the percentage of working women is
rising. Only by contributing towards income of the family the
women can get rid of the status of "burden". In the present
situation

Jokes To Tell Your Parents For Rosh Hashana
When Sam Hoffman and Eric Spiegelman's video of Hoffman's 60-something mother telling an off-color joke on YouTube went viral, they knew they had something special. The success of their subsequent website, OldJewsTellingJokes.com, and their upcoming book have proved them right.
Hopelessly Devoted To A Challenge
You are given a five-letter word and a seven-letter word. Rearrange the letters of one of the words to get a synonym of the other word. For example, given "alloy" and "devoted," the answer would be "loyal."
also, the percentage of working males is still much
greater than women. In the most of the parts of the country, a
large volume of women are still illiterate or inadequately
educated so they acquire less wages as compared with men. In
rural areas most of the women are engaged in farming or related
spheres. Women are often exploited and they do not even revert
back due to lack of knowledge and guts.
Even in modern India, mostly women do not have possession of land,
property and finance. They are contributing towards income
of the family but property rights still are in the hands of
males. Women empowerment can be attained in true terms when
women are free to use and manage the financial resources
according to her desire.
Entrepreneur women can positively contribute to attain the goal
of women empowerment. Entrepreneurship provides women for what
she is longing for - control over the resources and power of
decision making. Such women can help in poverty alleviation by
providing job opportunities for many other deserving women.
Surveys have proved that a large percentage of educated but not
trained women are present in the country. Such women can be
given training in a specific field like making homemade papads
or pickles, handicrafts and many such things and can start their
own small enterprise. Due to lots of family responsibilities to
perform, they lack most important elements of business i.e. time
and mobility. So it is better for them to exploit available
resources and start their enterprise near their residential place.
Self-employment is a blessing for poor and deserving women as
sufficient job opportunities are not available in the
country. In small sector, the women may be owner of the
enterprise may be a manager or controller or may be a worker in
the enterprise.
Women come across numerous problems inside and outside their
homes, especially at starting stage than men while establishing
their enterprise like financial constraint, time constraint,
problems in advertising and marketing field, not adequately
skilled and educated etc.
Tenth plan is initiating women empowerment by implementing
specific strategies like such social environment would be
created by providing necessary services so that women would be
proficient to utilize their potential, To make the women
economically self-reliant, proper training would be provided to
them. Equal rights
for the women would be provided so that there is no social,
political discrimination against her.
In the present scenario, where phenomenal advancements are
occurring in each and every sphere, women empowerment has become
crucial for alleviating poverty and procuring over all growth.
