Name of Author : Dr. Syamala K & Dr. P I Devaraj

Abstract: If our country has to progress unimpeded, women who form half of the population has to become equal partners with men in shaping free India – The right to political equality has not enabled women to play their roles as partners and constituents in the political process – Mere reservation will not solve the problems – If they are not aware, they will not be able to invoke their rights or know whether the laws are discriminatory- To achieve what we have aimed through empowerment of women, can be achieved in the real sense of the term only when they are imparted with adequate education and made aware how to make use of their powers. Otherwise, their empowerment will be only in words – Female literacy can be developed only through well developed plans and this, in turn will help a lot in the empowerment of women in the actual sense of the term
