Abstract
Empowering women has always been a major concern around the globe. Women's empowerment has the ability to alter a variety of societal and national factors. If we want to turn our country into a developed nation, it is essential that men, the government, low-income women, and women themselves work to empower women. In the Indian society, gender discrimination and male predominance necessitated the empowerment of women. Empowering women is essential for a prosperous future in the family, society, and country. The present study focuses on women's empowerment in India using various indicators such as women's decision making, employment, equal remuneration, occupational health and safety, social security, financial independence, and education access. In every nation on the planet, gender inequality exists, despite the fact that women constitute half of the world's population. Until women are afforded the same opportunities as men, entire societies are doomed to fall short of their true potential. The most pressing need of the hour is a shift in the social attitude towards women. Education is a crucial instrument that enables women and girls to participate in decisions that affect their lives and to advance their social standing. Women empowerment makes them independent decision makers. It is possible for a country to achieve social, political, and economic growth through the empowerment of women. Consequently, a woman must be empowered from all angles for a nation to develop. For this reason, women should be granted additional opportunities and benefits. Women's integration into the mainstream of development may be the most effective method of emancipation. Women's empowerment will be genuine and effective only when they are endowed with income and property, allowing them to stand on their own two feet and establish their identity in the community. Government initiatives alone would not be sufficient to reach this goal. Society must take the initiative to foster an environment in which there is no gender discrimination and women have equal opportunities for self determination and participation in the social, political, and economic life of the nation.
