Abstract

Women Empowerment is ensuring food, health, financial, social and emotional security for women. There are slew of policies and schemes formulated and executed by Government of India to bring about the upliftment of women, yet there is no significant development and crimes against them continue to rise like it knew no bounds. It is right time to consider major policy changes at the grassroots level to tackle various issues appertaining to women. Separate Ministry has been dedicated exclusively for women at the Central and State levels. Under its aegis, there exists District Women and Child Development Agency (DWCDA) that works tirelessly to uplift women. This paper attempts to study and analyse various women-specific schemes under DWCDA in Visakhapatnam district, Andhra Pradesh.
