  • Abstract:
  • India’s projected population in 2021 is 136.3 Crore with 48.6% female population. The provisions of the 73rd and 74th Amendment Acts reserved seats at the local level of government and ensured remarkable political empowerment of women at the grassroots. The National Policy for the Empowerment of Women (2001) and the Report on the Status of Women in India (2015) emphasized the need for women's reservation in the Parliament and State Assemblies. With a larger number of women participating is a greater likelihood of policy decisions and legislative actions that reflect and address the diverse needs of women across the country. When women see themselves represented in decision-making bodies, it encourages, thereby contributing to a more diverse and representative political leadership. This dream can be better achieved only with educated women. Education equips women with the necessary skills and knowledge to navigate various challenges effectively, transforming their social status from being dependent to independent contributors to society. Educated individuals are better positioned to make informed decisions, and seize opportunities, thereby leading more fulfilling lives. The empowerment of women through education has a transformative effect on entire societies, driving progress and prosperity. Indeed, women's empowerment is a crucial aspect of societal progress, and education plays a pivotal role in fostering it. This paper advocates for a holistic approach to promoting women's participation in politics, highlighting the importance of education as a fundamental enabler of women's empowerment. Without proper education and support mechanisms in place, political reservation for women may be perceived as a mere token gesture rather than a meaningful step towards gender equality.
