Abstract

Empowerment can serve as a powerful instrument for women to achieve upward socio-economic mobility and achieve power and status in society (Giri, 2003). It is a source of mobility, equality and emancipation, both at the individual level and at the societal level. Gender development continues as an important part of development in this context. Gender bias in social, educational, economic and political fields is still manifested in many a civilized society of the world. Empowerment of women can serve as an essential input for development. It is thus important to bring women into the mainstream of development so that society benefits through women empowerment (Chen and Mahamood,1995).
