The foundation of Viksit Bharat (Developed India) by 2047 rests on four key pillars, collectively known as 'GYAN': Garib (the poor), Yuva (youth), Annadata (farmers), and Nari (women). The empowerment of women, as one of these essential components, is vital for achieving this national vision. However, India continues to grapple with deep-seated challenges, including systemic barriers and persistent societal norms, which contribute to significant gender disparities in educational attainment and workforce participation. Addressing these issues demands strategic interventions that focus on improving access to education, ensuring healthcare availability, fostering financial independence, and implementing comprehensive policy reforms to promote and uphold gender equality. Empowering women both politically and economically will yield considerable societal advantages, leading to increased productivity, stronger communities, and more inclusive governance. By prioritizing women's empowerment, India can move closer to its 2047 goal of becoming a prosperous and equitable democracy.
