Women Powering India's Growth Story
Women have moved from being beneficiaries to active drivers of India's development story. Life-cycle interventions now cover the girl child, health, nutrition, skills, entrepreneurship, and leadership. Financial inclusion and leadership opportunities have expanded through Self Help Groups, entrepreneurship, and digital inclusion. Better access to sanitation, housing, clean fuel, and tap water has boosted women's dignity and safety. Growing participation in governance reflects women's expanding role in nation-building.
