Panchayat Raj Institutions and Role of Women

Abstract

The active participation of Dalit women in mainstream political activities is an essential factor with significant consequences for the general governance of any nation. The active participation of Dalit women in local administration is not only a fundamental entitlement but also acts as a catalyst for the realisation of several other human entitlements. The presence of Dalit women in positions of political authority and influence, particularly in domains like essential services, economic progress, and social equity, serves as a crucial catalyst in confronting and deconstructing systemic bias rooted in caste, class, and gender. This article looks into active women’s role in Panchayat Raj Institutions and significant changes brought out by empowering women in politics.
