Abstract
On November 26, 1949, "We the people of India" affirmed and pledged to "Give to ourselves" this
"Constitution", additionally, to safeguard the interests of its citizens, it provides certain well defined goals
(Justice, Equality, Fraternity and Liberty) but different sections like (Women, Children, Dalits etc.) feeling
marginalized, from time to time, have raised grievances, that the Indian constitution is either ignoring their
identity or overlooking their interest. Thus, the Constitution of India provided the law to protect their rights and
empower them.
Indian Constitution, for the development of women and empowering them, enacted several kinds of
laws and acts. The beauty of the document of our Constitution lies in the fact that it goes to the extent of
envisaging women’s equality and not mere recognition of their rights, it extends itself in the noble intentions of
providing protective classification in favour of women for uplifting their status in society who had previously
for centuries may have faced economic, social, and political hardships.
According to Oxford Dictionary, "The process of becoming stronger and more confident, especially in
controlling one's life and claiming one's rights" is called Empowerment. But the meaning of empowerment
differs from person to person because its meaning depends on their experience, circumstances, dreams, and
hopes. It is a process by which women can elaborate and recreate themselves and achieve in situations where
they were previously denied. Empowerment aids in raising awareness, literacy, and training, as well as
empowering and allowing women to make such life-changing decisions which became helpful for them, and
they became confident and capable to face any kind of problems present in the society
