Abstract

In India, women empowerment is buzz word today. As nation, India is committed to the empowerment of women. Regarding women empowerment, three dimensions are considered. They are ‘power to’, ‘power with’ and ‘power within’. The ‘power to’ dimension of empowerment indicates the power of women to control their lives. The ‘power with’ indicates the collective power of women members to negotiate their gender, caste, class and other interests vis-à-vis institutions of the market, the State, and community. The third dimension ‘power within’ indicates the strategic gender awareness. Another indicator of the power, women getting at a deeper level, is the perception of others on women’s confidence, assertiveness, and independence. This framework of empowerment is utilized to assess the empowerment in the studies.
