Women empowerment refers to enhancing women’s rights, autonomy, and participation in economic, social, and political spheres, enabling them to make independent choices and access opportunities.

In the Budget 2023-24, several provisions were made for women empowerment in India. The government allocated funds for educational programs aimed at increasing female literacy and skill development, promoting job opportunities for women. Support for “Women Self-Help Groups” was emphasized, providing financial aid and training to enhance entrepreneurship. Health initiatives focused on improving maternal and reproductive health services. Additionally, measures were introduced to ensure women’s safety and security, including funding for women-centric programs and initiatives to promote gender equality, fostering a more inclusive environment for women to thrive in various sectors.
