Women Empowerment is a process that enables women to gain access to and control of material as well as information resources. This approach was first clearly formed in 1985 by Development Alternatives with Women for a New Era (DAWN).It is the means by which individuals, groups and communities to take control of their circumstances and achieve their own goals thereby being able to work towards helping themselves and others to maximize the quality of their lives. Women form an important segment of the labour force and economic role played by them cannot be isolated from the total framework of development as the role and degree of integration of women in economic development is always an indicator of economic independence and social status. The objectives of the present study are: 1. to study the women participation and implementation of Welfare Programmes; 2. benefits from welfare programmes to study the women economic development of the respondents 3. to study the Problem faced by the different programmes; Respondents of Ramachadrapuram and Vamalapeta Mandals mostly benefited from Govt. Welfare Programmes (Navarathnau). Majority of the Respondents received and above under Govt. Welfare Programmes (Navarathnalu) providing substantial additional income to the sample respondents. Govt. welfare programmes had some positive impact on the economic conditions of the sample respondents and made the respondents economically empowered. 60 percent respondents did not faced any problems at all under the programmes. The high number of respondents who participated in the programmes and increasing saving amount indicate the high impact of the Govt. welfare programmes. The programmes must continue with the pitfalls covered
