520			_aMarginalisation became a major topic of sociological research in the 1990s largely in response to the realisation that while certain developing countries demonstrated rapid economic growth, members of these societies were receiving increasingly unequal shares of the rewards of success. Women have emerged to be the empirical epitome of the marginalised groups in countries like India. Capacity building measures help women to orient with knowledge, skills, and self-confidence necessary to participate in the development process. This article deals with capacity building efforts for elected representatives of the Panchayati Raj Institutions undertaken in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Capacity building efforts conducted in the Island territory both from the part of Government and NGOs have been presented. It has been observed that majority of elected women representatives are not fully aware of various aspects of decentralised governance. - Reproduced.
