Women Empowerment has five components: women’s sense of self-worth, their right to have and to determine choices, their right to have access to opportunities and resources, their ability to influence the direction of social change to create a more just social and economic order, nationally and internationally (Beniwal, Opt. Cit., 33). Hence, in today’s global society pressures for women empowerment are growing. The women Empowermen theme runs strongly through all the literature, policy documents, planned initiatives etc. of the third world countries specially in the context of women. Most of the modern democracies and developing nations are already fascinated with this theme and have a public agenda for the process of women empowerment. It is more or less a kind of ‘national commitment’ which is prevalent in these countries including India (Singh, Vineeta; and Kishor, Kumar, 2012).
Women population is around 50% of the total population of the world. They have every right to be treated equally with men in every spheres of life and society.The empowerment of women would result inoverall development of society both at micro and macro level. Active participation of women in economic activities and decisions, would contribute towards overall economic development .
