Abstract :

Our first Prime Minister Jawahar Lal Nehru has rightly pointed out that �To awake the people it is the women who should be awakened first. Once she is on the move the family moves the nation moves�. There is a need for changing the mindset towards women so as to give equal rights as enshrined in the constitution. The progress towards gender equality is slow and is partly due to the failure to attach money to policy commitments. In the words of president APJ Abdul Kalam "empowering women is a prerequisite for creating a good nation, when women are empowered, society with stability is assured. Empowerment of women is essential as their thoughts and their value systems lead to the development of a good family, good society and ultimately a good nation.
