Preface
Women play a pivotal role in the overall progress of a country as they constitute half
the human resources of a nation. The economic wealth of a country is seriously depleted
if about half of the nations human resource is neglected. Recognising the need for involving
women in various development activities, the Government of India has initiated several
affirmative measures by way of programmes and schemes to bring them into the mainstream
of development. These affirmative actions have brought about perceptible changes in the
socio-economic conditions of women. The literacy rate of females, which was 8.86% in
1951 rose to 54.16% in 2001. Womens work participation rate, which was 19.7% in 1981,
rose to 25.7% in 2001. The data base also brings out the areas where the progress has
been slow if not retrograde. The sex ratio in the 0-6 years age group dropped from 945 in
1991 to 927 in 2001, which indicates that society still does not welcome a girl child and the
preference rests with sons. Nearly 50% women get married before they attain 18 years of
age, and 57.9% pregnant women and 56.2% married women suffer from anaemia. Maternal
mortality rate (MMR) is still quite high, at 254 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births (in
2006). Thus, there is room for much more to be done to ameliorate the plight of women at
the grass root level.
The Eleventh Five-Year Plan aims to achieve inclusive growth and reduce disparities.
A comprehensive picture of Women and Girls in India as revealed through collected statistics
would be a useful reference base to show the progress India has achieved so far. This
document is an effort to capture statistically the situation of women and girls in India, on
the basis of many social indicators which are available in widely scattered sources. Various
indicators covered in this document are : demography and vital statistics; health and
nutritional status; education; girl child; work participation of women and children; support
measures for women, including women in distress; political participation of women and
women in decision making; prevalence of disability; crime against women and children;
food security; household expenditure; budget outlays for women in the Union Budget and
Budget of the Ministry of Women and Child Development; and voluntary organisations
involved in the social development activities.
The document has been compiled with the efforts of a team of officers and staff of the
Institute. Dr. Sulochana Vasudevan, Joint Director, Womens Development Division,
provided support and guidance to a team headed by Ms. Meenakshi Sood, and comprising
Ms. Himani Nautiyal, who have painstakingly compiled and updated the information and
statistics several times over. While Shri Varun Kumar provided computer assistance,
Shri A. J. Kaul, Publications Officer and other officials of the Common Services Division

were instrumental in ensuring the timely publication of the document. I acknowledge with
gratitude the contribution of various Government Departments, autonomous organisations,
UN agencies, international organisations, research institutes and voluntary organisations,
who extended full cooperation and shared their documents with us.
The document shows at a glance statistics on indicators which are available in various
published sources. We have put in the effort with the hope that this document would be a
useful asset to administrators, planners, researchers, academicians, media persons, and
others concerned with issues related to womens empowerment.

1. Measures for Womens Empowerment

Introduction
India attained freedom from British rule on 15th August 1947. India was declared a
sovereign Democratic Republic on 26th January 1950. On that date the Constitution of
India came into force.
All citizens of India are guaranteed social, economic and political justice, equality of
status and opportunities before law by the Constitution. Fundamental freedom of expression,
belief, faith, worship, vocation, association and action are guaranteed by the Indian
Constitution to all citizens- subject to law and public morality.

The Constitution of India - Provisions Relating to Women

The Constitution of India not only grants equality to women, but also empowers the
State to adopt measures of positive discrimination in favour of women for removing the
cumulative socio-economic, educational and political disadvantages faced by them.

Advancement of Women through Five Year Plans

There has been a progressive increase in the plan outlays over the last six decades of
planned development to meet the needs of women and children. The outlay of Rs. 4
crores in the First Plan (1951-56) has increased to Rs. 7,810.42 crores in the Ninth Five
Year Plan, and Rs. 13,780 crores in the Tenth Five Year Plan. There has been a shift from
welfare oriented approach in the First Five Year Plan to development and empowerment
of women in the consecutive Five Year Plans.

Perspectives on Advancement of Women through Five Year Plans

First Five Year Plan It was mainly welfare oriented as far as womens issues were
(1951-56)
concerned. The Central Social Welfare Board (CSWB) undertook
a number of welfare measures through the voluntary sector. The
programmes for women were implemented through the National
Extension Service Programmes through Community Development
Blocks.
Second Five Year
Plan(1956-61)

Efforts were geared to organise Mahila Mandals (womens

groups) at grass-roots levels to ensure better implementation of
welfare schemes.

Third, Fourth, Fifth

and other Interim
Plans (1961-74)

They accorded high priority to womens education. Measures to

improve maternal and child health services, and supplementary
feeding for children, nursing and expectant mothers were also
introduced.

Statistics on Women in India 2010

Sixth Five Year

Plan
(1980-85)

This is regarded as a landmark in womens development. The Plan

adopted a multidisciplinary approach with a three-pronged thrust
on health, education and employment of women.

Seventh Five Year

Plan(1985-90)

Development programmes for women were continued, with the

objective of raising their economic and social status and bring them
into the mainstream of national development. A very significant
step therein was to identify and promote beneficiary-oriented
programmes which extended direct benefits to women.

Eighth Five Year

Plan(1992-97)

It attempted to ensure that the benefits of development from

different sectors did not bypass women. Special programmes were
implemented to complement the general development
programmes. The flow of benefits to women in the three core
sectors of education, health and employment were monitored
vigilantly. Women were enabled to function as equal partners and
participants in the developmental process with reservation in the
membership of local bodies. This approach of the Eighth Plan
marks a definite shift from development to empowerment of
women.

Ninth Five Year

Plan(1997-2002)

The Ninth Five Year Plan envisaged :

a) Empowerment of women and socially disadvantaged groups
such as Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward
Classes and Minorities as agents of socio-economic change and
development.
b) Promoting and developing peoples participatory institutions like
Panchayati Raj institutions, cooperatives and self-help groups.
c) Strengthening efforts to build self-reliance.
d) The convergence of services from different sectors.
e) A womens component plan at the Central and State levels.

Tenth Five Year

Plan(2002-2007)

The Tenth Five Year Plan was formulated to ensure requisite access
of women to information, resources and services, and advance
gender equality goals.

Eleventh Five Year

Plan(2007-2012)

The Eleventh Five Year Plan proposes to undertake special

measures for gender empowerment and equity. The Ministry of
Women and Child Development would make synergistic use of
gender budget and gender mainstreaming process.

The population of the world crossed 6 billion in 1999, and Indias population crossed
1 billion in 2000. In 2011, Indias population is expected to be around 1.2 billion. Some
indicators on the quality of life in Asian countries, including India have improved over the
years such as life expectancy, literacy and infant mortality, while others have remained
static or deteriorated such as environmental sanitation and environmental degradation.
International comparisons on a few of the indicators of human development for Asian
countries and indicators for different states in India are given in the tables below.

Birth Registration
A birth certificate is the first legal document confirming identity of the individual. In
India, the registration of births and deaths is compulsory under the Registration of Births
and Deaths (RBD) Act of 1969. The National Population Policy 2000 has set the goal of
achieving universal birth registration by the year 2010. The registration of births of children
in India is given in Table 14.

Statistics on Women in India 2010

Total marital fertility rate (TMFR) is the cumulative value of age specific marital fertility
rates at the end of the reproductive period. It indicates the average number of children
expected to be born per married woman during the entire span of her reproductive period,
if the ASMFR continues to be the same and there is no mortality. The TMFR worked out
on the basis of ASMFR for the year 2006 and 2007 for India and bigger states for rural and
urban areas is given in Table 26.

Risk Factors: Sample

3. Girl Child
Although the Constitution of India guarantees equality to all citizens, the status of women
and girls is not at par with that of males in some sections of society. The skewed sex ratio
in the 0-6 years age group is an indicator of this fact. The Government of India has launched
several schemes and programmes for the welfare of the girl child, and reduce discrimination
against the girl child. Some of these are:

Girl Child Scheme/ Adolescent Girl Scheme

1. Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (2002)
2. Balika Samriddhi Yojana (1997)
3. Kishori Shakti Yojana (2000)
4. Jan Shikshan Sansthan (1998)
5. District Primary Education Programme (1994)
6. Reproductive and Child Health Programme (1996)
7. Integrated Child Development Services (1975)
8. National Programme of Nutritional Support to Primary Education ( Mid Day Meal
Scheme) (1995)
9. Integrated Child Protection Scheme (2009)
10. Sabla, Scheme for Adolescent Girls ( Launched in 2010)

Legislative Measures
Various legislations have been enacted for the protection of children. These are:
1. The Pre-natal Diagnostic Techniques (Regulation and Prevention of Misuse) Act, 1994.
2. The Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act, 1971.
3. Child Marriage Restraint Act, 1929 (Amended in 1979, 2006 & 2008).
4. Child Labour (Regulation and Prohibition) Act, 1986 (Amended in 2006).
5. Infant Milk Substitutes, Feeding Bottles and Infant Food (Regulation of Production,
Supply and Distribution) Act, 1992.
Discrimination against girls is evident from indicators such as enrolment of girls in
schools, drop out rates, and sex ratio in the age group 0-6 years, which are given in
Table 30.

4. Early Marriage
Early marriage is defined as a marriage in which the bride is below 18 years and the
groom is below 21 years. Girls who bear children before they close their adolescent
growth spurt remain physically under developed and have greater risk of complications of
pregnancy and maternal death. To reduce the incidence of child marriage, the Child Marriage
Restraint Act, 1929 was passed and amended in 1979, 2006 and 2008.
Under this Act, unless there is anything repugnant in the subject or context, (a) child
means a person who, if a male, under 21 years of age and if a female, is under 18 years of
age ; (b) child marriage means a marriage to which either of the contracting parties is a
child; (c) contracting party to a marriage means either of the parties whose marriage is or
is about to be thereby solemnised; and (d) minor means a person of either sex who is
under 18 years of age.
Punishment under the Act: Whoever performs conducts or directs any child marriage
shall be punishable with simple imprisonment which may extend to three months and shall
also be liable to fine, unless he proves that he had reason to believe that the marriage was
not a child marriage.
The Child Marriage Act was amended in 2006 and the guardian who solemnizes a
child marriage can be punished with rigorous imprisonment which may extend to two years
and also be liable to fine which may extend up to rupees one lakh. However, no woman
can be imprisoned. Any person who attends a child marriage can also be penalized under
the Act.
Under the latest amendment in 2008, a girl who is forcibly married below 18 years can
approach the court to declare her marriage as null and void if she so desires.

Legislative Measures
To reduce and eliminate the incidence of child marriage, the following act has been
enacted:
1. Child Marriage Restraint Act, 1929 (Amended in 1979, 2006 and 2008).
Although the incidence of early marriage has come down from 50% in 1998-99 (NFHSII) to 44.5% in 2006 (NFHS-III) for India as a whole, the incidence of early marriage remains
above 60% in rural areas of Jharkhand (71.0%), Rajasthan (65.7%), Bihar (65.2%), West
Bengal (62.6%), Madhya Pradesh (62.0%), Andhra Pradesh (61.4%), Uttar Pradesh (61.1%)
and Chhattisgarh (60.3%).
Census of India 2001 found that there were nearly 300,000 married girls who became
mothers before the age of 15 years. Early motherhood places the mother and the child at
grave health risk. The incidence of early marriage and early motherhood is given in
Table 32.

5. Child Labour
Children who are working before they attain the age of 14 years are termed as child
labour. The Government enacted The Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act,
1986 to prevent the employment of children in hazardous industries or in hazardous
processes. A high powered body, the National Authority for the Elimination of Child Labour
(NAECL), was constituted in September 1994 to lay down policies and programmes for
elimination of child labour, particularly in hazardous industries. In 1996, the Supreme Court
issued a directive ordering the setting up of a corpus fund Child Labour Rehabilitationcum-Welfare Fund with Rs.25,000 to be contributed by the employer of a child in a
hazardous industry, towards the compulsory primary education of all working children.
In 1981, out of a total population 685 million, working children were 13.6 million, which
was about 2 per cent of the total population. In 1991, out of a total population of 838.6
million, working children were 11.28 million, which was 1.34 per cent of the total population.
As per Census of India 2001, there were 12,666,377 child labourers in India. Out of the
total working population of 402,234,724 workers, including main and marginal workers,
working children constituted 3.15% of the total labour force. Out of a total population of
1.028 billion persons in India working children numbered 12.666 million, which was 1.23%
of the population.
Child Labour Act has been amended in 2001 and the scope of the Act has been extended
to prohibit employment of children in 70 hazardous occupations and processes, including
rag-picking and scavenging. In 2006, employment of children in domestic work and hotels
was included in the list of occupations where the employment of children was banned.

6. Health and Nutrition

For a nations progress, it is essential that the health of its population, including the
health and nutrition of women and girls, mothers of the new generation, is adequately
cared for. Although the expectation of life at birth for women has increased from 36.1 years
in 1951 to 66.91 years in 2001-06, the health and nutritional status of women and girls
leaves much scope for improvement. The dietary intake of women in low economic group
was deficient by 500 to 600 calories. Other factors influencing the poor status of women
and girls are unsafe drinking water, inadequate sanitation facilities, poor hygiene and housing
conditions in rural and urban poor areas, disproportionate workload, physical and mental
violence, etc. Information on a few health and nutrition indicators is given in the subsequent
tables.
Health situation in India at a glance is given in Table 39.

Sanitation and Toilet Facilities

Health status of the population is closely linked to hygienic conditions and environmental
sanitation. However, a vast number of rural households do not have access to toilets
within their homes. This situation is particularly piquant for women and girls. The number
of households in rural areas without toilet facilities as per Census of India 2001 is given in

Safe Drinking Water

A vast section of the Indian population does not have access to safe drinking water,
which is the cause of many diseases such as cholera, typhoid, diarrhoea, dysentery, jaundice
(hepatitis), etc. The status of rural habitations having access to safe drinking water and
those yet to be covered is given in Table 42.

Rural Health Infrastructure

The rural health infrastructure in India is often plagued with inadequate resources of
trained manpower, equipment, medicines, electricity and transport. To reduce the high
maternal mortality rate of 254 per 1,00,000 live births, rural health infrastructure needs
strengthening. In 2005, National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) has been launched to
provide improved health care services in rural areas. Under NRHM, Janani Suraksha
Yojana (scheme) provides improved health care facilities to pregnant women, creates
awareness about care of mothers during pregnancy, promotes safe deliveries, and provides
cash or transport facilities to reach women to maternity clinics. The number of health
centres, and trained personnel available in rural areas is given in Table 43.

Maternal Health Care

The maternal mortality rate (MMR) of developed countries ranges between 4 and 20.
Indias maternal mortality rate of 254 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births is unacceptably
high and all efforts are being made to increase the number of institutional deliveries, so
that emergency medical services can be provided when needed. Rural areas lack all weather
roads and transport services, blood banks, operation theatres and other support services.
The aim must be to ensure that every delivery takes place in a hospital. The incidence of
institutional delivery and assisted delivery is given in Table 44.

Infant mortality is a sensitive indicator showing the level of human development of a nation.
Efforts are being made to bring down IMR to below 30 per 1000 live births as per the
Millennium Development Goals set for 2010 A.D. The major share of infant mortality is
contributed by neonatal mortality, which is the death of infants from birth to 28 days. The
share of various states to the neonatal mortality in India is given in Table 49.

Statistics on Women in India 2010

Infant Mortality and Child Mortality

The infant mortality rate (IMR) in India has been coming down over the years and was
recorded at 53 per 1000 live births in 2008, as is given in Table 16. Although efforts are
being made to bring down IMR to 30 by 2010, the rate of decline in recent years has
slowed down. Efforts are required on various fronts and the National Rural Health Mission
is endeavouring to achieve this goal by creating awareness among women about the
importance of antenatal and post natal visits to hospitals and various health facilities to
monitor the progress of the new born child.The percentage distribution of top ten killer
diseases of infants in rural India is given in Table 54.

AIDS Cases in India

AIDS has emerged as a major killer in India. The incidence of AIDS is spreading from
the high risk population to the general population, and the infection has even been
transmitted to newborn babies through infected mothers. It is estimated that in 2007,
there are 2.31 million (1.82 to 2.9 million) people living with HIV/AIDS with an estimated
adult HIV prevalence of 0.34% (0.25% - 0.43%). The incidence of AIDS among adults,
women and children is given in Table 64.

Nutritional Status
The nutritional status of women and children in India is not quite satisfactory and requires
intervention to bring improvement in the current situation. Although programmes have
targeted vulnerable sections of the population, further concerted effort is required to bring
about tangible change in the situation. In spite of programmes like Public Distribution
System and Targeted Public Distribution System (TPDS), poverty alleviation programmes
and rural and urban employment programmes, the nutritional status of 35.6% women and
34.2% men is below normal. The benefits of programmes does not seem to reach about
35% of the population, hence a different approach is required. Persons having Body Mass
Index below normal is given in Table 68.

The survey was not conducted in Union Territories.

Children whose height-for-age Z-score is below minus two standard deviations (-2SD) from the median of the
reference population are considered short for their age (stunted) and are chronically malnourished.
3. Children below minus three standard deviations (-3SD) from the median of the reference population are considered
to be severely stunted.

From time to time, National Nutritional Monitoring Bureau undertakes surveys of the
dietary intake of the population of India in various states and special groups, such as tribal
and rural. In 2001, NNMB undertook a dietary intake survey of the rural population in 9
states namely Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra,
Orissa, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal. The dietary intake of energy and proteins was found
to be less than the recommended amount, as given in Table 74.

Statistics on Women in India 2010

National Institute of Nutrition conducted a survey of the diet and nutritional status of
sections of the population in 9 states during 2004-05. The consumption of all foods except
roots and tubers was below the RDI in all the age/sex/physiological groups. The consumption
of protective foods such as pulses, green leafy vegetables (GLV), milk and fruits was
grossly inadequate. Consequently, the intake of micronutrients such as iron, vitamin A,
riboflavin and folic acid were far below the recommended levels in all the age groups. Only
25% of the preschool and school age children were consuming diets adequate in protein
and energy, the proportion of which was higher in adolescents (30-60%) and adults (7080%). The nutritional status of children aged 1-5 years according to Gomez Classification
is given in Table 78.

Nutrition of Adolescent Girls

Adolescent girls from vulnerable sections of society do not get adequate nutrition and
are deficit in calories. Many adolescent girls are also anaemic. To improve the nutritional
status of adolescent girls, the Ministry of Women and Child Development provides foodgrains
to undernourished girls identified by the anganwadi worker. This programme was undertaken
during 2005-06 on a pilot project basis and is being implemented 51 identified districts.
Two backward districts in major states are selected on the basis of ranking developed by
the Rural Development Division of the Planning Commission. Free foodgrains at the rate
of 6 kg per beneficiary per month are provided to underweight (less than 35 kg) adolescent
girls (11-19 years). The foodgrains released under Nutrition Programme for Adolescent
Girls is given in Table 85.

7. Education
Education is a critical input in human resource development and is essential for the
countrys economic growth. A high literacy rate, especially of women, correlates with
improvement in several socio-economic indicators, namely low birth rate, low IMR and
increase in life expectancy. The recognition of this fact has created awareness on the
need to focus on improving literacy and universalizing elementary education. The task of
providing basic education to all, with concrete plans of action, gained greater momentum
only after the National Policy of Education (NPE) was adopted in 1986 and revised in
1992.
Primary education was earlier a State subject under the Constitution, but it has been
brought under the Concurrent List to enable both, the Centre and State, to undertake
measures to achieve universalization of primary education. The Supreme Court of India,
in the Unnikrishnan Case (1993), declared primary education to be a fundamental right.
The Constitution (86th Amendment) Act, 2002, was enacted by the Parliament of India
making education a fundamental right. The Right to Education Act was enacted in 2006 to
provide free and compulsory education to all children in the age group 6-14 years.
With the World Declaration on Education for All (EFA) adopted in Jomtien, Thailand in
1990, basic education in all its facets - Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE),
Elementary Education, Education for Adolescents, Adult Education, Gender Equality and
Quality Improvement - was recognised as a fundamental right of every citizen. The nation
is firmly committed to providing Education for All, the priority areas being free and compulsory
primary education, covering children with special needs, eradication of illiteracy,
vocationalisation, education for womens equality, and special focus on the education of
SCs/STs/OBCs and minorities.
Major programmes of the Department of Education are Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, District
Primary Education Programme, National Programme for Education of Girls at Elementary
Level, Prarambhik Shiksha Kosh, National Institute of Open Schooling, Jan Shikshan
Sansthan, Mahila Samakhya, National Programme of Nutritional Support to Primary
Education (Mid-Day Meals), and other schemes which accord priority to areas of
concentration of SCs, STs, OBCs and minorities.
The Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), the National Programme for Universalisation of
Elementary Education for children in the age group 6-14 years, was launched by the
Government of India in mission mode in partnership with the States and Union Territories.
Apart from providing quality elementary education, the SSA also focuses on providing free
textbooks for girls, constructing toilets especially for girls, and setting up Village Education
Committees and Mother Teacher Associations to monitor the quality of education. During
the Eleventh Five Year Plan period, efforts are on to retain children upto middle school and
provide Mid Day Meals till Class VIII.
The literacy rate has been going up steadily, and the Census of India 2001 revealed
that while the total literacy rate was 65 per cent, for women and girls it was 54 per cent.
The literacy rate of the population aged 7 years and above is given in Table 87.

Children Attending School: Estimates from Other Sources

In some states, Government statistics show that more than 100% children are enrolled
in schools. This is due to the fact that some over age children are also enrolled in these
classes. Independent surveys carried out by NGOs and other sources reveal that all children
are not in school. The percentage of children attending school as per National Family
Health Survey (2006) is given in Table 96.

However, this is still low compared to male work participation rate, which was 52.6% in
1981 and 51.9 % in 2001.
The number of women in the reorganized sector was 4.95 million on 31 st March 2001,
of whom 2.86 million were in the public sector and 2.09 million were in the private sector.

Statistics on Women in India 2010

To increase employment among women, several initiatives have been taken by

Government of India, and programmes have been launched for the economic empowerment
of women. Some of these are Swawlamban; Support to Training and Employment
Programme (STEP); Hostels for Working Women, with day care centres for their children;
Rashtriya Mahila Kosh (RMK); and Swayamsiddha.

Swawlamban
The Swawlamban programme, previously also called Womens Economic Programme
and NORAD scheme, was launched in 1982-83 with assistance from the Norwegian Agency
for Development Cooperation (NORAD) to provide training and skills to women to facilitate
them to obtain employment or self-employment. The target group under the scheme are
poor and needy women and women from weaker sections of society, such as scheduled
castes and scheduled tribes.
Under the programme, financial assistance is provided to Womens Development
Corporations (WDCs), public sector corporations, autonomous bodies and voluntary
organizations (NGOs) to train poor women, mostly in non-traditional trades and to ensure
their employment in these areas. Some of the popular trades under the programme are
computer programming, desktop publishing, medical transcription, electronics, watch
assembling, radio and television repairs, garment making, dress designing and fashion
technology, handloom weaving, secretarial practice, community health work, embroidery,
etc., and the aim is to make women self reliant.
Financial assistance is also provided to the grantee organizations for hiring of trainingcum-production sheds, training cost, machinery and equipments, stipend to the trainees
and remuneration for the trainers.
Various evaluation studies have shown that nearly 50-60 per cent of the women trained
under the programme have been able to get employment or self-employment. From 2006,
Swawlamban has been transferred to the States/ Union Territories.

Support to Training and Employment Programme for Women (STEP)

Support to Training and Employment Programme for Women (STEP) was launched in
1987 to provide skills and knowledge to poor and assetless women in traditional occupations
such as agriculture, animal husbandry, dairying, fisheries, handloom, handicrafts, khadi
and village industries, sericulture, social forestry and wasteland development for enhancing
their productivity and income generation. This would enhance and broaden their employment
opportunities, including self-employment and development of entrepreneurship skills.
Women beneficiaries are organized into co-operatives. Services such as training, extension,
infrastructure, market linkages, etc. are provided, besides linkage with credit for transfer of
assets.
Women in the dairying sector have been receiving the maximum support, keeping in
view the nature of demands. This is followed by handlooms, handicrafts, sericulture and
poultry.
The funds released for women beneficiaries under STEP are given in Table 121.

Rashtriya Mahila Kosh (National Credit Fund for Women)

Several research studies had repeatedly highlighted the need of poor women to have
access to credit facilities at reasonable interest rates. It was felt that the credit needs of
poor assetless women, particularly those in the unorganized sector who could offer no
collateral and were not eligible for loans under banks schemes, had not been addressed
adequately by the formal financial institutions in the country. Varied experiences in this
sector had established a need for a quasi-informal credit delivery mechanism, which should
be client friendly, have simple and minimal procedures, have flexible repayment schedules,
and low transaction costs, both for the borrower and the lender. With this in mind, the
Government of India established Rashtriya Mahila Kosh (National Credit Fund for Women)
on 30th March 1993 to facilitate credit support and provide loans or micro-finance to women
for setting up small enterprises. Rashtriya Mahila Kosh mainly channelizes its support
through non-government organizations (NGOs) having experience of extending credit
facilities to poor women, Women Development Corporations (WDCs), women cooperative
societies, and suitable state government agencies. RMK, which started with an initial corpus
of Rs.310 million has been recycled four times and the cumulative loaning operation was
Rs.1780 million in 2006. The number of women beneficiaries and loans disbursed under
RMK is given in Table 122.

Hostels for Working Women

With progressive change in the economic structure of the country, more and more
women are living out of their homes in search of employment in big cities. These women
are exposed to risks due to lack of suitable and safe accommodation. The Government of
India acknowledged the difficulties faced by such women and decided to introduce a Scheme
for Construction / Expansion of Hostels for Working Women.
Under the Scheme for Construction / Expansion of Hostel Building for Working Women,
financial assistance is given to voluntary organizations, local bodies and cooperative
institutions for the construction of hostels for working women in order to enable women to
seek employment and participate in technical training. The objective of the scheme is to
provide cheap and safe hostel accommodation to working women living out of their homes.
The target beneficiaries are single working women, widows, divorcees, separated women,
and working women, whose husbands are out of town.
So far 876 working womens hostels (WWH) have been sanctioned through out the
country. In 2008-09, additional 11 new working womens hostels were sanctioned benefiting
933 women. The number of working womens hostels sanctioned, number of working women
benefited, hostels with day care centres, and number of children benefited till March 2009
is given in Table 125.

Creches
Creches directly benefit children in the preschool age by providing preschool education,
supplementary nutrition and opportunities for psychosocial development and recreation.
They also indirectly benefit mothers by giving them an opportunity to join the workforce, as
creche workers look after the children, while mothers are at work. Rajiv Gandhi National
Creche Scheme for the Children of Working Mothers was launched on 1 st January 2006 by
merging the National Creche Fund and the Scheme of Assistance to Voluntary Organisations
for Creches for Working and Ailing Mothers Children. The financial norms have been revised
from Rs.18,480 to Rs.42,384 per crche per annum, and the target is to set up 14,719 new
crches by the end of the 10th Five Year Plan. The number of creches and children availing
services under Crche Scheme are given in Table 129.

Condensed Courses of Education for Women (CCE)

The National Policy on Education has laid special emphasis on skill development for
girls and women to provide employment or work opportunities in rural and urban areas.
The Central Social Welfare Board (CSWB) started the programmes of Condensed Courses
of Education in 1958 and the Vocational Training Programme during the year 1975, to help
women complete their schooling and also upgrade their skills in order to meet the demands
of changing work environment.
Under the scheme of Condensed Courses, voluntary organisations are given grants to
conduct courses of 2 years and 1 year duration to enable women above 15 years to pass
Matric/ Secondary, Middle and Primary level examinations. The scheme contains provisions
for engaging teachers for conducting these courses.

Female Headed Households

The National Sample Survey Organization conducted a survey on the employment
and unemployment situation in India in 2004-05. It was found that about 11% households
in both rural and urban areas were headed by females. Compared to all households, they
had, on an average, a relatively smaller household size and a much higher sex ratio.
Female headed households are in need of special support services, as women have to
fulfil both economic and domestic roles. The number of female headed households is
given in Table 134.

10. Crime against Women and Children

Crimes against women have been increasing over the years. The reported crimes
against women in 2008 were 195,856 (under IPC and SLL) compared to 185,312 during
2007, recording a marginal increase of 5.7% in 2008. Andhra Pradesh accounted for 12.3%
of the total incidents of crime against women, and Uttar Pradesh accounted for 12.0% of
the total crimes against women. About 95.3% of the crimes were IPC crimes and 4.7%
were crimes under special and local laws (SLL). Although women may be victims of
many crimes but rape is one of the most heinous crimes. Rape is defined under Section
375 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) as the unlawful and carnal knowledge by a man of a
woman (a) against her will, (b) without her consent, (c) consent obtained by putting her in
fear of hurt, (d) obtaining her consent by making her believe that she is his lawfully married
wife, and (e) with or without her consent when she is under 16 years of age. Exception to
Section 375 is the sexual intercourse by a man with his own wife, the wife not being under
15 years of age.

Punishment for Rape

Normal punishment for rape is minimum 7 to 10 years imprisonment and maximum
life imprisonment and fine. Punishment for raping ones own wife, who is not under 12
years, is two years imprisonment or fine or both.

Public Interest Litigation

The Supreme Court has decreed that any citizen, can on behalf of any other person,
petition the Court regarding any serious matter which involves the fundamental rights of a
citizen of India. Even a letter addressed to the Court can be treated as a petition on which
suo moto action can be initiated.

Lok Adalats
To redress the grievances or complaints of common citizens who wish to avoid lengthy,
complicated, expensive court procedures, provision has been made to dispense justice
through Lok Adalats or Peoples Courts, wherein a bench of judges (or tribunal) listens to
the petitions and dispenses justice at the same time in accordance with law. This is a way
of Courts moving out to people to provide speedy justice to the common man, and reducing
the load of cases pending in Courts. Cases which pertain to minor charges can be settled
out of Court in an informal atmosphere.

Legislative Measures
The special enactments and legislation to safeguard women and their interests
specifically are:

11. Gender Development Index

The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women
(CEDAW), was adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1979 to attain the goal of equal
rights for women. Consisting of a preamble and 30 articles, it defines what constitutes
discriminations against women and sets up an agenda for national action to end such
discrimination. According to the Convention, discrimination against women is any
distinction, exclusion or restriction made on the basis of sex which has the effect or purpose
of impairing or nullifying the recognition, enjoyment of exercise by women, irrespective of
their marital status, on a basis of equality of men and women, of human rights and
fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural, civil or any other field.
The Convention ensures womens equal access to, and equal opportunities in, political
and public life including right to vote and stand for election, as well as education and
employment. It is the only human rights treaty which affirms the reproductive rights of
women. The Convention, which entered into force on 3 September 1981, had till 31 May
1996, been ratified by 152 UN member states.
India ratified the Convention on 25 June 1993 with Declaratory Statement in respect
of Articles 16(1) and Article 16(2) of the Convention and Reservation in respect of Article
29(1) of the Convention. Under Article 16(1) of the Convention, the Government of the
Republic of India declared that it shall abide by and ensure these provisions in conformity
with its policy of non-interference in the personal affairs of any community without its initiative
and consent. Under Article 16(2) of the Convention, the Government of India declares that
it agrees to the principle of compulsory registration of marriages. However, failure to get
the marriage registered, will not invalidate the marriage, particularly in India, with its variety
of customs, religions and literacy level. Article 29(1) of the Convention establishes
compulsory arbitration or adjudication by the International Court of Justice of Disputes
concerning interpretation. Government of India declares that it does not consider itself
bound by paragraph 1 of this Article.
When India ratified the UN Convention to End Discrimination against Women in 1993,
disaggregated data regarding the situation of women and girls was not available. Efforts
were then initiated by the Government of India to collect disaggregated data on various
indicators so that a clearer picture of the situation of women and girls vis--vis men and
boys would emerge. Data at the district and sub-district level are required for planning
programmes based on facts at the micro level. The Gender Development Index (GDI) of
Indian women is illustrated by the statistics given below in Table 159.

Decision Making
The 73rd and 74th Amendment to the Constitution ensured that 33 per cent seats for
panchyats in rural areas and urban local bodies were to be reserved for women. This
ensured the direct involvement of women in positions of decision making. Elected women
representives are slowly bringing change in the rural countryside and urban areas, by
bringing social development, women and child related issues to the forefront.

Although women have entered many male dominated professions, their representation
in the higher echelons of society, and in positions of decision making is much below that of
men.

13. Women and Disability

Women in India are at a disadvantage as compared to their male counterparts. Disabled
women are even more vulnerable because of their gender and the disability. The incidence
of disability is more in rural areas, but support services in rural areas are less than those in
urban areas. The various kinds of disabilities in rural and urban areas gender-wise are given
in Table 173.

14. Household Consumer Expenditure

The National Sample Survey (NSS) collects some basic information on various
indicators. The present report is based on the data on consumer expenditure collected
during the NSS 63th Round (July 2006 June 2007). The main findings discuss the pattern
of variation of monthly per capita consumer expenditure over rural and urban areas of
selected States, including the North- Eastern States, and the Group of Union Territories.
The all-India average Monthly Per Capita Consumer Expenditure (MPCE) was
Rs.695 in rural areas and Rs.1312 in urban areas. Thus, the average MPCE for urban
areas at all India level was higher than that in rural areas.
The average expenditure per person per month on various items in rural and urban
areas is given in Table 176.

15. Budget Outlay

The Central Government expenditure on social sectors, namely education, health and
family welfare, water supply, sanitation, housing, rural development, social welfare, nutrition
and minimum basic services as a ratio to total expenditure rose from 9.4 per cent in 199394 to 11.4 per cent in 1999-2000. The Central outlay on women and child development
increased by 104.8 per cent in the Tenth Five Year Plan (2002-07) over the Ninth Five Year
Plan, from Rs.6729 crores to Rs.13,780 crores. The Ninth Plan 1997-2002 made two
significant changes in the conceptual strategy for planning for women. Firstly,
empowerment of women became one of the nine primary objectives of the Ninth Plan,
and secondly the plan attempted convergence of existing services, resources, infrastructure
and manpower available in both, women specific and women related sectors. To this
effect, it directed both the Centre and the States to adopt a special strategy of Womens
Component Plan through which not less than 30 per cent of funds/benefits should be
earmarked in all the women - related sectors. In the Ninth Plan, the Womens Component
Plan as a percentage of the Gross Budgetary Support (GBS) worked out to be 25.5. In
1986, at the instance of the Prime Ministers Office (PMO), a special mechanism of
monitoring 27 Beneficiary Oriented Schemes (BOS) for women was put into action. The
same continues to be an effective instrument for monitoring women specific and women
related sectors of health, nutrition, education, labour, rural development, urban development,
science and technology, and women and child development. The Tenth Plan translated
gender commitment into budgetary commitment to ensure that women receive their rightful
share from all women and women related general development sectors. The Approach
Paper to the Eleventh Plan states that adequate provisions need to be made in policies
and schemes to achieve gender equity. Impediments need to be removed and an enabling
environment provided to achieve just gender goals. Budget allocations for various Ministries,
Departments, schemes and programmes are given in Table 179.
