Arti Sharma

Abstract :

 The village is the very first scale of enquiry in an area. Every small town has a singular individuality. It accumulates all the signs of past, present and future development of human beings. A village also offers an opportunity to understand general principles of a peculiar society with a closer lens. So, this article deals with the close study of two villages in the Aligarh district of Uttar Pradesh, India. In this study, women’s status about their age, religion, marital status, education level, their occupation and their awareness about various government schemes run by the government of India has been inquired. Research findings show that the status of women in rural areas of Aligarh district is still not good. The social norms continue to be rigid in the 21st century too. The perception of people about women is changing, but it is at a very slow pace.
