The Indian Journal of Political ScienceSummary: The objectives of the study were to assess the level of autonomy and decision making power of tribal
women. Traditionally women have always been subjugated. True development of a nation is not
possible if one half of the population is ignored or marginalized. Therefore the Constitution of India
has many rights and acts in favor of them. The present study examines the decision making role of
tribal women and to find out the impact of their socio-economic status on their decision making roles.
The study was based on primary data collected from Warangal districts women representatives in local
bodies. The development of every community cannot be accelerated without women participation.
Therefore the government should focus on developing the literacy rate among the tribal women which
would facilitate their economic upliftment. This would surely result in their qualitative participation
and decision making among all aspects of their living. Key words: Participation, Panchayat Raj,
Decision-making, Development- Reproduced
