Abstract

The status of women in complex society like ours is not uniform. Within Indian subcontinent, there have been infinite variations of the status of women, differing according to the cultural milieu, family structure, caste, class, occupation, property rights etc. All these factors are significant determinants of variations in her position in different groups. Scheduled Caste women who constitute sizeable population of India is subjected not merely to gender bias, but also to indignities arising out of the age-old tradition of untouchability, marginalization and exploitations from which incidentally the entire social group of Scheduled Cates suffer. This study assesses the impact of Sabla programme for the empowerment of Scheduled Caste women in Kerala. The present study is an attempt to investigate how decision-making ability, educational background, socio-economic conditions, social awareness, self-confidence, self-esteem, leadership qualities are in a way to achieve the goals of women’s empowerment. The researcher undertook the study to explore the impact of the Sabla programme upon the Scheduled Caste and general beneficiaries of the programme concerned. Impact has been measured by comparing the participants of the programme among Scheduled Caste and general categories. The comparison is based on the primary data collected from the field. For measuring the impact of the Sabla women empowerment scale is constructed.
