| Summary, etc |
The phenomenon of proxy leadership, among women representatives in Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs), has been the inhibiting factor in the way of self-assertive roles by women. Women belonging to lower strata of our society, despite being given assured entry in political arena, are the worst sufferers in this regard. It has largely been argued that the situation of social capital empowers them not only to exert roles in social domain but also to resist against the oppressors. This dominant assumption makes an urgent imperative to examine the state of social capital among elected women panchayat representatives, specially belonging to Scheduled Castes (SC) category. As such, the present research paper is an empirical attempt to assess the impacts of the growth of social capital on selfassertive roles by women panchayat representatives. The present study is mainly based on primary data collected through survey at micro level. The survey was conducted in Madhubani district which has high concentration of SC population. The study reveals that there is growth of social capital among women leaders which has improved the quality of roles of women representatives. It is also interesting to note that the growth of social capital was found greater among SC women panchayat representatives than women of other caste groups. – Reproduced |
