The Empowerment of Women has been one of the greatest
social changes of our times. But theres still a way to go,especially in a country such as ours.
India cannot become a mighty superpower until half of its
population- 600 million women- is brought on board.
The condition of women has undoubtedly improved since
Independence.
They have been freed from some of the heinous social practices
of the past, are better educated , healthier and getting more
paying jobs outside their homes. But, is that enough ?
Take some of the basic parameters of progress and
development, and one finds that lack of education, poor health
conditions and discrimination in opportunities of work and
incomes still haunt women.

Though womens literacy has shot up from a shameful 8
percent at the time of Independence to an estimated 63
percent now, it still leaves over 200 million of them unable
to read and write, the largest such number in any country.
A recent NSSO survey found that by the time they are 19
years old, 41 percent of girls drop out of school. The
primary reasons given by girls for leaving their studieswere, essentially, that education was not considered
necessary by elders and that doing their domestic duties.
As a result of this abandonment of the education system,
only about 1 in 10 girls manages to claw her way up tohigher education.
There are just 62 girls for every 100 boys in colleges and
universities, way down from the nearly 90 girls per 100
boys in primary school.

Women have come a long way, but not nearly enough.
More than half of all service sector employees arewomen, mainly concentrated in the personal, social
and community services category that includes most of
the care-giving work..
There has been a massive increase in women working as
cooks, governesses, baby-sitters and maids. Between
1999 and 2004, the number of such workers shot up by
over 2 million.
Data shows that even when women are working in paid
jobs outside their homes, they do most of the
housework nearly 5 hours of care work at home
compared to about 6 hours by an unemployed
housewife.

The fact that we have a woman President, that we
have had a woman prime minister, that some of
the most powerful CEOs are women, and that ourgirls have won international beauty crowns, seem
to prove that women in India have come into their
own, living and working shoulder to shoulder with
men.
The ancient and entrenched belief that women are
not capable of doing most so-called mens work has
been upturned.
Today we bring you a Special Presentation that
celebrates the rise of the woman in all her avatars.
