Influence of government initiatives for empowerment of women in india

Women empowerment is the process of treating the women with same status with that of men in all the fields of the society. Women Empowerment has become a movement now but in our country it only seems a distant dream. We have restricted our perceptions to only upliftment of women- from the value of an object to the value of a living being. But what is required in the present period is something beyond it. We make a great show off whenever a woman makes high achievements but instead of showing off why not accept it to be natural and normal like we do with men doing the same.
Contrary to today’s scenario, even during Vedic era women had enjoyed equal status with men. Various modes were also adopted to ensure that this stature continues. Like Stridhan and the description of women scholars like Maitray, Gargi shows the importance a woman hold during that period. However this could not continue for long and women lost their value. Now the basic problem a woman faces is that of education, poverty and safety and health. In order to tackle it various schemes and policies are drafted and implemented. So is its significance that even the UN has dedicated one of its Millennium Development Goals to empowerment of Indian woman.
However, milestones came in Indian history with two cases Mohammad Ahmed Khan Vs Shah Bano Begum and Vishakaha Sawhney v State of Rajasthan. Although the former was overturn yet it left a huge impact that the law of the land in India recognizes the rights of a woman. Whereas Vishkha went a step ahead and the law was even laid on the treatment of women. Thus the paper concludes with a positive note that with all the required tools in hand what is required to meet the end is right administration.’
