Description :
It is clear that the goals of human development are closely intertwined with the development and empowerment of women. Women constitute 48.46% (2011) of the total population. Women are a valuable human resource and their socio-economic development is essential for the sustainable development of countries. The country's laws focus on the development of women in various fields of development policies, plans and programs. The principle of gender equality is also present in the Constitution of India. In post-Vedic times, there was equality between men and women. In the Upanishads and the Rig Veda, it is proved by Gargi and Maitriyi. In India, which has been in the forefront of feminism since the 1970s, women soon gained the right to vote in some Western countries.
