Bharat mein Mahila Netrutva: Chunautiyan, Avasar aur Bhavishya ki Disha Women’s Leadership in India: Challenges, Opportunities, and Future Direction

Abstract

The issue of women’s leadership in India holds immense significance from social, economic, and political perspectives. Today, women are making their mark in diverse fields, yet their participation in leadership positions remains limited. Factors such as deep-rooted social norms, gender discrimination, lack of education, and restricted access to economic resources continue to hinder women’s leadership.
At the same time, government initiatives, digital technologies, and rising awareness have created new opportunities for women to step into leadership roles. This paper examines the current state of women’s leadership in India, the key challenges they face, and the opportunities available to them. It also highlights how society and governance can work together to ensure more inclusive leadership. Further, it explores the role of policy-making, social attitudes, and education in strengthening and encouraging women’s leadership.
