EMPOWERMENT OF WOMEN THROUGH DECENTRALISED GOVERNANCE WITH REFERENCE TO KARNATAKA

Dr. Nagaratna V. Parande

Abstract :

 The present paper analyses the role of decentralized governance in inging the empowerment of women and the position of women in Panchayat Raj institutions in Karnataka. Women in India have made a considerable progress in almost all areas of life but they still have to struggle against many handicaps and social evils in the male-dominated society. The patriarchal Indian society resists the progress of its women. It is unfortunate to know that India is positioned at the 29th rank among 146 countries across the globe on the basis of Gender Inequality Index. With the help of reservation and participation in decision making through politics there has been amelioration in the position of women, but their true empowerment is still awaited.
