520			_aThis paper highlights the role of rural development schemes in the upliftment of rural women. The study is based on secondary data. The results show that MGNREGA has done well in the generation of wage employment for rural women and in the elimination of rural poverty among females. Further, IAY/PMAY-G has contributed towards gender equality by allotting the houses in the name of women that has shown an increasing trend in the study period. Further, NRLM has provided strength to the marginalized section by providing them self-employment by forming self-help groups. The IGWPS has also covered numerous widow women by aiding them financially. The state-wise data of the northern region of India depicts that with regard to the selected schemes Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan state was leading the chart in provision of employment opportunities to women, self-employment, and provision of pension and completion of houses. – Reproduced
