INDIAN WOMEN : THEIR SOCIAL SITUATION & CONSTRAINTS

In the first page of the Bible it is inscribed “Man and Women are created after the image and likeness of God”. Even in Hindu religion Woman is given a sacred place. Women make up almost 50 percent of the human resources of our country and they can be even greater instruments in the development of human resources than men. Their role is tremendously important because they can enter in any profession or economic activity. They also remain as mothers and care-takers of our potential human resources – the children. Now there is a growing awareness among nations that women need to play a significant role in all aspects of development process. Now let us discuss the social situation and constraints of Indian women.
