VIDYADHAR S. NAGANAHALLI

Published By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

Empowerment of women aims to achieve gender equality in the society. As such, political empowerment aims to achieve gender equality in political participation of women at panchayat level. The 73rd Amendment to the Indian Constitution enabled Indian women for participation in politics at the panchayat level. As such, the Government of Karnataka also adopted the political participation of women and provided reservation to women at panchayats. The present paper described the political participation of women at national and Karnataka state and also examined the political empowerment of women through panchayat raj institutions.
