Empowerment of women is essential as their thoughts and their value systems lead to the development of a good family, good society and ultimately a good nation.

Women’s position in modern Indian society is equal to that of men socially, economically, educationally, politically and legally. In modern India, as a result of their newly gained freedom, women have occupied positions in various spheres of life being a politician, orator, lawyer, doctor, engineer, administrator, diplomat, business woman, entrepreneur and the like. The empowerment of women is one of the central issues in the process of development of countries all over the world.
