Empowerment is the process of increasing the capacity of individuals or groups to make choices and to transform those choices into desired actions and outcomes. Empowerment of women means developing them as more aware individuals, who are politically active, economically productive and independent and are able to make intelligent discussion in matters that affect them. By taking into consideration of importance of women empowerment, this paper studies state’s initiatives for women development and empowerment. India’s Constitution makers were very determined to provide equal rights to both women and men. The Constitution of India is one of finest equality documents in the world. It provides provisions to secure equality in general and gender equality in particular.
