| Summary, etc. |
The women have assumed the leadership at grassroots level governance, and they are here to stay and make their own contribution in the newly assigned role. But this new genre of leaders is not without its load of problems and drawbacks. The prominent handicaps being the age-old dependence on male members, lack of proper education and exposure to the administrative and social milieu. The problem is more acute for female leaders representing dalits and backward classes who cannot completely get rid of the caste stigma. The present article, while highlighting the problems and day to day difficulties faced by these leaders, suggests measures for capacity building of these enthusiastic and often promising women. It outlines the steps needed to impart them orientation, sensitisation, information and counselling in a professional and organised fashion. Given proper encouragement and guidance they can overcome the initial problems. - Reproduced |
