Kerala's developmental approach is unique in India since it places equal emphasis on social justice and economic progress. Significant advancements in health, life expectancy, literacy, and women's status have been made possible by this focus on social variables. Kerala is a fascinating scenario with strong social indicators for women's health and education. Despite these advancements, the Kerala model presents a complex picture for women. While social indicators are high, economic opportunities for women remain limited. Labour force participation for women is lower compared to the national average, and they are often concentrated in informal or low-paying jobs. Furthermore, despite high literacy rates, translating education into leadership positions in government or industry remains a challenge. The paper analyses to what extent the Kerala budget 2024-25 addresses the needs and aspirations of women and how effective are its allocations in promoting women empowerment. The research article is a doctrinal work with a vivid study of the Kerala budget 2024-25 along with various research articles related to women empowerment.
