An outlook of Gender Discourse and Various Legal Protection in Traditional Society of Arunachal Pradesh Bikash Bage April 2019 Department of Sociology Rajiv Gandhi University Ronohills, Doimukh 791112, Arunachal Pradesh, INDIA bagebikash3@gmail.com ABSTRACT The promotion of women and child health in India is gradually being viewed as a meaningful objective of national development policy. The government has invested in an impressive 2000 Primary Health Centers, 130,000 sub –centers, 2000 community health centers, over 500,000 trained birth attendants, and 400,000 community health guides. However, there are also a great number of overlapping uncoordinated programs and an inadequate development policy. Independent India has tried to redeem the situation by proclaiming equality of sexes as fundamental right under the constitution. Since last 5-6 decades of Indian independence the subsequent governments have passed several laws protecting the women from violence, discrimination and strengthen women in social and economic field. Numerous committees and commission have been made, x – rayed and scanned the situation of the women thereby made recommendations to improve the condition of women. Amartya Sen has attributed access to fewer household resources to their weaker bargaining power within the household. Furthermore, it has also been found that Indian women frequently underreport illnesses. The underreporting of illness may be contributed to these cultural norms and gender expectations within the household. Gender also dramatically influences the use of antenatal care and utilization of immunizations. Since time scores of schemes have floated by different ministries like ministry of Women & child, ministry of social justice & empowerment, ministry of tribal affairs, ministry of minority affairs etc. of the government to address the concerns and problems of women. As per my understanding, the multidimensional issues related to gender, resistance and transition may be discussed and measured in the following narrations.
