TITLE : WOMEN EMPOWERMENT AS A CATALYST FOR INCLUSIVE GROWTH: AN ANALYTICAL STUDY OF GOVERNMENT INITIATIVES AND MULTI-STAKEHOLDER CONTRIBUTIONS IN INDIA

ABSTRACT:Women empowerment plays an essential role in driving growth and inclusive development. This article focuses on how government efforts and different partners support women’s empowerment across India. It starts by looking into ongoing gender challenges in education, jobs, and decision-making, while comparing India’s rank globally in terms of gender equality. Initiatives like Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, Mahila E-Haat, Ujjwala Yojana, and Stand-Up India are bringing real changes by addressing deep barriers faced by women. The paper also highlights how Self-Help Groups, NGOs, media, and education systems are helping to build empowerment from the ground up. The results show that, while progress has occurred, full gender equality needs teamwork and strong involvement from all sides.
