constituting local governance is to encourage local leadership according to the
developmental needs of the rural villages. The inclusion of well qualified women in
village Panchayat at the initial state of the interlocution of Panchayati Raj system in
rural areas would be an important instrumental measure in planning for improving
social status and empowering women. Political participation of women does not mean
only women's participation in electoral and administrative processes. But also, it
includes the whole range of voluntary activities which has a bearing on the political
process including voting, supporting political groups, communicating with legislators,
disseminating political views and opinions among the electorate and other related
activities. Lack of political skill, training, proper information and patronage are the
various causes for which women are not able to take part in political activities equally
with their male counterpart. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : PUSHPA V.BHAGAS, (2013). “RURAL LOCAL SELF GOVERNANCE SYSTEM FOR POLITICAL EMPOWERING OF WOMEN”.
