Abstract: This study on the Status of the women in Panchayat administration in Gangath village, Indore Tehsil, shows the need that men must learn to respect women capabilities, starting to listen their points of view in public gatherings and realize how effective and transparent the women administration can be. Panchayat Raj Institution is the traditional institutions of local governance in India. All over India, including Himachal Pradesh, not to much relevance is given for women despite of regulations and sensitization campaigns. There is a vast variety of factors that restrain women in the earlier times and all throughout the history of Panchayat system, today the same factors continue to inhibit women participation in politics and social life, especially in rural areas. Gender as phenomena never appears in its pure form, it is always veiled, in fact, the patriarchal system is cover up behind cast, class and religious factors. The government and the public institutions may improve the support by creating strategic support to incentive, empower and defend the women participation in public administration in an equal democratic process in order to develop the home condition and indeed the whole society.

Key Words: Panchayat Raj Institution, Women Empowerment, Status of women Panchayat, Gangath Village in Himachal.
