ABSTRACT:
The paper explores the initial efforts made for women empowerment. Empowerment of women was started much earlier as depicted in Ved Purana. The status of women in India has been improved from the very beginning since the government has provided special objectives regarding women in their various Five Year Plans. The government has also established different plans and commissions for women empowerment like National Perspective Plan for Women, National Commission for Women, National Policy for Women Empowerment (2001), and many more which has made women more empowered. Now, women are free to take their own decisions, pursue education and participate in the socio-economic development of the country.
