Abstract:
Women empowerment is a much discussable and raised issue all over the world. But why is it necessary? Why are we trying to fill this gender gap? What is gender gap? Why are women not given that equality level and trust in the society? The most famous and an appropriate quote by the Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru in this regard that “To awaken the people, it is the women who must be awakened. Once she is on the move, the family moves, the village moves, the nation moves”. It is 21^st century and women still have to struggle for their rights. If we ourselves could try to get the balance then there would be no need for this whole campaign for women empowerment. A queen of kitchen can anytime be a corporate leader! And there are series of example in our country itself! Then, why we are in need to discuss the concept of women empowerment? Is it an affect of gender gap? Are women in the country really getting their deserved rights? And, are they provided with educational facilities similar to the boys of their age? Are they forced to get married at early age? We the self-declared modern and urbanized people have forgotten this burning and realistic issue. But the reality check emphasises that this topic needs much more attention than it is getting now days. Women empowerment is not a topic should consider as mere for discussion but should bring in practice too. If we aim to empower women we will be an indirect force to empower women of our family. Only a woman can form a chain of knowledge that she has as her innate capacity. It is always passed on to someone, yes, you get it right that a house maker or a queen of kitchen is a dynamic source of knowledge and she is the one who can carry the society towards betterment. In present article author has dealt with the women empowerment, the related ideas, issues and possibilities in Indian scenario.
