Abstract

Empowering women in India is the most effective instrument for development at this time because women all over the world are actively working as leaders and outperforming others in all aspects of life. In India, this means that women's empowerment is the most effective tool for development. India is currently "the fastestgrowing major economy in the world," and it is anticipated that this growth will continue to increase over the course of the next decade. Nevertheless, in spite of India's recent success in terms of economic development, women and girls continue to lag behind the rest of the population. A National Family and Health Survey that was place between 2019 and 2021 found that India has a population of more than a billion people and that there are more women than men in the country at a ratio of "1,020 women for every 1,000 men." Despite the fact that women make up the majority of the population in India, they continue to confront obstacles that are mostly caused by social notions of the roles that men and women should play. The effects of this discrimination and inequality between the sexes are extremely widespread. In order to solve this problem, various organisations are focusing their attention on enhancing the autonomy of women in India. The purpose of the study is to shed light on the meaning of women's empowerment in India, as well as its significance, as well as the obstacles and solutions now available.
