DESCRIPTION
Development alone cannot bring peace, prosperity and progress unless social justice and gender equality are ensured. It has been realized that development programs have bypassed women who constitute about half of the population of the country. The international conferences, conventions, and legal enactment highlighted the imperative need for the gender equality and women empowerment. The scheduled castes women, who are mainly agricultural labourers and are engaged in unorganized sector of economy, are still living below the poverty line and suffer due to the to their overall backwardness.
