| Summary, etc. |
The term 'empowerment' is essentially an enabling process to make people capable of taking decisions concerning their development and for changing their lives for better. The Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs), through 73rd Constitutional Amendment, have been designed to empower the people at three appropriate levels. The Amendment provided institutional mechanism and was meant to rekindle the flame of self-governance. The basic objective of the democratic decentralisation through reactivation of the Panchayati Raj system was to realise Gandhiji's concept of 'Gram Swaraj' (Aslam, 2007:79). The most important aspect of the widening democratic decentralisation has been the reservation of seats, for the women and Dalits. Studies show that by extending reservation to women, PRIs have certainly led to the increased participation of women in panchayats as voters, candidates, as elected members of PRIs taking part in decision making, planning, implementation, and evaluation. However, certain constraints which stem from traditional village institutions and familial and socio-cultural forces still remain (Mathur, 2008:84). In this context, the article attempts to study the emerging patterns of women's leadership and empowerment aspects among the Dalit and tribal groups in the state of Odisha in eastern India. - Reproduced. |
