        abstract = {The rapid expansion of India's Information Technology industry has generated significant employment opportunities, particularly for women, thereby transforming their economic and social statuses. This research investigates the role of technical education in augmenting women's participation in the IT sector and examines its influence on their autonomy, career advancement, and overall economic security. It assesses how access to high-quality technical education, skill development initiatives, and government policies affect women's engagement in the IT industry. Additionally, the study analyses the enrolment in various technical disciplines, the percentage of women employed within the IT sector, and data on female engineering graduates, income levels, and career progression. Such analysis aids in understanding the comprehensive growth of women both personally and professionally. The findings underscore the importance of inclusive policies that facilitate women's access to STEM education and professional development, ultimately fostering gender diversity and economic empowerment within India's IT sector.},
