| Sumari: | Empowerment of women and their participation in the development process has been considered as an
essential feature of development of a nation. In India, women especially from the rural parts of the
country suffer from being economically and socially suppressed by the male dominated society. Their
thoughts and opinions are never considered by anyone in the society. Even they don’t have the right to
take decision on maters related with their future. It is presumed that real nation development is
possible only if the men and women work in equal terms. The Kudumbashree is a real example for the
empowerment of women both in social as well as economic status. The Kudumbashree project first
started in Kerala in the year 1998. The ultimate objective of the Kudumbashree scheme is to improve
the standard of living of poor rural women by setting up micro-credit and productive enterprises. It is
started as a joint programme of the Government of Kerala and NABARD implemented through
Community Development Societies of Poor Women, serving as the community wing of Local
Governments. The study mainly focuses on the empowerment of behavioral competency of rural
women through Kudumbashree units. It shows that the majority of economically backward rural
women people are working in Kudumbashree units and they got a notable level of improvement in
various behavioral competencies. The Kudumbashree in Kerala is real model to follow for the rest of
the states in India to empower the rural women. |
