A comparative study between women in Kerala State and Uttar Pradesh on empowerment aspects was carried out by the researchers. Empowerment of women is essentially the process of upliftment of economic, social and political status of women, the traditionally underprivileged ones in the society. Uttar Pradesh is the most populous state in India accounting to 16% of its total population. Besides being a very populous state, Uttar Pradesh also has some of the poorest development indicators, especially with regard to the status of women and girls. However, on the other hand, Kerala has been one state which defied national trends and provided a model of development that is more open and inclusive of women. Kerala has been an exception to the general trend in terms of women development. The paper is qualitative in nature. The researches have prepared an opinionnaire for collecting data from different backgrounds and tried to record their opinion in different aspects of life. Researchers also collected life experiences of women with men in different spheres of life. The researchers have interviewed nearly 50 women from different backgrounds both in Kerala and Uttar Pradesh .The researchers have found that women of Kerala and Uttar Pradesh are having different opinions in some aspect. There also exist similar mindset of women of two states in certain issues.
