This study aims to unravel gendered socio-economic patterns within the town of Dugadda, Uttarakhand, India, shedding light on disparities, challenges, and opportunities. Employing a comprehensive methodology, data was collected and analyzed across various societal domains including education, social groups, religion, marital status, and occupation, categorized by gender. The results reveal significant gender disparities, with females outnumbering males in lower levels of education, a balanced gender distribution across social groups with notable imbalances in specific communities, variations in gender dynamics across religious groups, traditional gender roles evident in marital status, and persistent gender disparities in occupational structure. The findings underscore the necessity for targeted interventions to enhance educational access, address socio-economic disparities within communities, promote gender equality within religious contexts, ensure equitable support services for widows and widowers, and foster inclusive policies to address occupational gender disparities. In conclusion, addressing these disparities necessitates multifaceted approaches to challenge socio-cultural norms and institutional biases, ultimately fostering inclusive environments conducive to social and economic development.
