Opis

This book is about empowerment of women in general as well as constitutional perspective. It is about Constitutional provision for women and also other factor for women empowerment. Women require social, economic, political, social and legal empowerment. The National women commission was established in 1990. 73rd and 74th amendment played vital role in women empowerment at grass root level. 33% reservation of women at lower level of the democracy increases the participation of women in decision making process. It is subject to sorrow that women reservation bill is pending in parliament which is regarding 33% reservation for women in parliament and State assemblies. We hope the work will go long way in serving the needs of law students and others.
