Economic Empowerment of Women: Indian Perspectives

Women Empowerment means promoting women in their social and economic development, providing them equal opportunities of employment, education, economical development and allowing them to socialize; the freedoms and rights that were denied before. It is process which empowers women to know that they too can achieve their aspirations as the men of the society and help them do that. Empowerment of Women is very important for a country's development right from the smallest unit of the community which is the family. Having empowered women in a country means great reduction in dependence rates, reduction in VAW, increased household income leading to increased household purchasing power resulting into an improved standard of living adding on the taxes that the government in each country collects which is then invested back into better services to the tax payers women inclusive. According to the provisions of the Constitution of India, it is a legal point to grant equality to women in the society in all spheres just like male. Women are given a top place in India from the ancient time however they were not given empowerment to participate in all areas. They need to be strong, aware and alert every moment for their growth and development.
