OVERVIEW
The overall aim of National Service Scheme as envisaged earlier, is to give an extension dimension
to the higher education system and orient the student youth to community service while they are
studying in educational institution. The reason for the formulation of this objective is the general
realization that the college and +2 level students have a tendency to get alienated from the
village/slum masses which constitute the majority of the population of the country. The educated
youth who are expected to take the reins of administration in future are found to be unaware of the
problems of the village/slum community and in certain cases are indifferent towards their needs and
problems. Therefore it is necessary to arouse the social conscience of the students, and to provide
them an opportunity to work with the people in the villages and slums. It is felt that their interaction
with the common villagers and slum dwellers will expose them to the realities of life and bring about
a change in their social perception
OBJECTIVES
(i) To groom youth as social centric by applying her/his knowledge towards improvement of the
community.
(ii) To develop among themselves a sense of social and civic responsibility and act as agents of Social
change towards India@2047 as a developed Country.
(iii) To acquire leadership qualities and democratic understanding to uphold the values ensured in the
constitution.
(iv) To develop capacity to face emergencies and mitigate natural disasters.
(v) To Practice national integration and social harmony, with a spirit of Nation pride and patriotism.
(vi) To sensitize about role and responsibilities of youth towards United Nations Sustainable
Development Goals.
(vii) Develop a spirit of volunteerism to adopt deprived sections of society as lifelong.
(viii) To reach out the government Schemes to the poor and deprived.
OUTCOMES
• To uphold the value system based on the cultural, social, political and moral bases of Indian
society.
• Identify and solve the major social and environmental issues/challenges and equip the
classroom learning to face those challenges.
• Develop teacher competence, sensitivity and teacher motivation.
• Get ready for professional preparation.
• Become technologically competent and realise the importance of ICT and e learning.
• Apply the theoretical and practical information to get a holistic understanding about the
importance of nurturing positive attitudes, skills and healthy behavior for living in the present
and future.
• Imbibe the aptitude for understanding the principles and practices related to the varied
psychological, social and philosophical areas to facilitate productive cognition.
• Focus on communicative English which will help the student teachers communicate well in
diverse settings and practices.
• Conceptualize different formal and informal evidence based performance assessment strategies
and develop ability to evaluate the continuous intellectual, social and physical development of
the learners.
• Enhance drama and art education to nurture children's creativity and aesthetic sensibilities.
• Enhance the critical thinking skills through strategies that encourage precise approach to enquiry
collaboration and active participation in the classroom.

It’s important to learn what the five rs of waste management are in order to understand
their importance. The five rs refer to a process used by businesses to make the outcome
of their recycling programs better through reducing the amount of waste the company
produces. It’s important for any company that’s a producer of high amounts of waste to
use a quality waste management program to keep the environment cleaner and to
ensure that all hazardous waste is safely disposed of. A significant part of the process is
implementing the steps known as the five rs. They include refuse, reduce, reuse,
repurpose, and recycle. Each of these steps must be followed to every last detail in
order for the plan to work to its full potential.

INTRODUCTION
In recent times, some people are putting their life at risk with harmful pesticides and
fertilizers. Population growth is a major problem in India. By population growth, the need for food
is growing. To fulfill the need for food production, using chemical fertilizers, toxic pesticides, and
hybrids. From which human health and nature are being adversely affected. Organic Farming is
the only way to protect ourselves and nature from deadly chemicals. Now among the farmers the
awareness about organic agriculture in India is increasing.
What is Organic Farming in India

Organic farming in India is an agricultural process, uses pest control derived from organic manure
and animal or plant waste. This farming started to respond to the environmental suffering caused
by chemical pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. It is a new system of agriculture that repairs,
maintains, and improves the ecological balance.
Principles of Organic Farming in India
There are four principles of organic farming are as follow:-
Principles of Health – The health of the ecosystem, people, and communities.
The Principles of Ecology – The right balance between ecosystem and environment or nature.
Principles of Fairness – Good human relationships and quality of life.
Principles of Care – The considerations about the environment and environment of the future.

Production demand and supply
date:-----/----/---
In the last decade there has been an increase in awareness among people about other positive effects of
organic foods like the following:
 Fitness, health and wellbeing: One of the main motives for the consumption of organic food is
of course that they do not contain harmful chemicals and pollutants, as some chemicals could
lead to cancer and other serious medical problems
 Harmful effects of pesticides: To increase crop production several man-made pesticides are
used which are leading to the depletion of water tables and soil contamination
 Use of antibiotics: Use of antibiotics on livestock is causing a poor immune response in humans
 Unsafe food and food safety: Worldwide organic food has gained popularity because they are
produced in an agricultural system that provides food that is free from toxic pesticides, synthetic
fertilizers and genetically modified organisms (GMOs)
 Environmental protection: Organic farmers follow strict cultivation standards which has a
positive impact on soil, water and air. Natural farming methods also conserve biodiversity and
maintain the natural balance of the ecosystem.
 In recent years, Indian consumers have started paying more attention to their health, the nutrient
content and quality of the food they eat. Due to these concerns, they have gradually begun
shifting towards organic food, even though organic foods are priced higher than conventional
foods. This awareness among consumers is further giving a boost to the organic market as
consumers are willing to pay for them if it is going to benefit their health and wellness. Also, in
places where consumers are aware about the safety and quality of organic products, the market is
growth is increasing, since consumers are willing to pay higher prices.

Waste management
date:-----/----/---
 A rising quality of life, and high rates of resource consumption patterns have had a unintended
and negative impact on the urban environment - generation of wastes far beyond the handling
capacities of urban governments and agencies. Cities are now grappling with the problems of
high volumes of waste, the costs involved, the disposal technologies and methodologies, and
the impact of wastes on the local and global environment. But these problems have also
provided a window of opportunity for cities to find solutions - involving the community and the
private sector; involving innovative technologies and disposal methods; and involving behavior
changes and awareness raising. These issues have been amply demonstrated by good practices
from many cities around the world.
 There is a need for a complete rethinking of "waste" - to analyze if waste is indeed waste. A
rethinking that calls for
 WASTE to become WEALTH

REFUSE to become RESOURCE
TRASH to become CASH *
 There is a clear need for the current approach of waste disposal that is focused on
municipalities and uses high energy/high technology, to move more towards waste
processing and waste recycling (that involves public-private partnerships, aiming for
eventual waste minimization - driven at the community level, and using low energy/low
technology resources. Some of the defining criteria for future waste minimization programs will
include deeper community participation, understanding economic benefits/recovery of waste,
focusing on life cycles (rather than end-of-pipe solutions), decentralized administration of
waste, minimizing environmental impacts, reconciling investment costs with long-term goals.
 Population explosion, coupled with improved life style of people, results in increased generation
of solid wastes in urban as well as rural areas of the country. In India like all other sectors there
is a marked distinction between the solid waste from urban & rural areas. However, due to ever-
increasing urbanization, fast adoption of ‘use & throw concept’& equally fast communication
between urban & rural areas the gap between the two is diminishing. The solid waste from rural
areas is more of a biodegradable nature & the same from urban areas contains more non-
biodegradable components like plastics & packaging. The repugnant attitude towards solid
waste & its management is however, common in both the sectors. Universally ‘making garbage
out of sight’ is the commonly followed practice. In India, the urban local bodies, popularly
known as the municipal corporations/councils, are responsible for management of activities
related to public health.
 However, with increasing public and political awareness as well as new possibilities opened by
economic growth, solid waste management is starting to receive due attention. The various
initiatives taken by government, NGOs, private companies, and local public drastically increased
in the past few decades. Nonetheless, land filling is still the dominant solid waste management
option for the United States as well as many other countries like India around the world. It is
well known that waste management policies, as they exist now, are not sustainable in the long
term. Thus, waste management is undergoing drastic change to offer more options that are
more sustainable. We look at these options in the hope of offering the waste management
industry a more economically viable and socially acceptable solution to our current waste
management dilemma. This paper outlines various advances in the area of waste management.
It focuses on current practices related to waste management initiatives taken by India. It also
highlights some initiatives taken by the US federal government, states and industry groups

Classification of waste There may be different types of waste such as DATE:----/---/----
 Domestic waste, Factory waste, Waste from oil factory, E-waste, Construction waste,
Agricultural waste, Food processing waste, Bio-medical waste, Nuclear waste, Slaughter house
waste etc.
 We can classify waste as follows: • Solid waste- vegetable waste, kitchen waste, household
waste etc.
 E-waste- discarded electronic devices such as computer, TV, music systems etc.
 Liquid waste- water used for different industries, tanneries, distilleries, thermal power plants
Plastic waste- plastic bags, bottles, bucket, etc.
 Metal waste- unused metal sheet, metal scraps etc.
 Nuclear waste- unused materials from nuclear power plants Further we can group all these
types of waste into wet waste (Biodegradable) a
 Wet waste (Biodegradable) includes the following: • Kitchen waste including food waste of all
kinds, cooked and uncooked, including eggshells and bones • Flower and fruit waste including
juice peels and house-plant waste • Garden sweeping or yard waste consisting of green/dry
leaves • Sanitary wastes • Green waste from vegetable & fruit vendors/shops • Waste from
food & tea stalls/shops etc.
 Dry waste (Non-biodegradable) includes the following: • Paper and plastic, all kinds • Cardboard
and cartons • Containers of all kinds excluding those containing hazardous material • Packaging
of all kinds • Glass of all kinds • Metals of all kinds • Rags, rubber • House sweeping (dust etc.) •
Ashes • Foils, wrappings, pouches, sachets and tetra packs (rinsed) • Discarded electronic items
from offices, colonies viz. cassettes, computer diskettes, printer cartridges and electronic parts.
• Discarded clothing, furniture and equipment

Waste management 5 R PRINCIPLE

date:-----/----/---
 The 5 R principle is an important action that one should take to reduce the garbage, waste in our
society. According to the 5-R's, there are four actions that are taken prior to the process of recycling,
they are: refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose. One must incorporate these methods so as to reduce waste
and recycling efforts will definitely minimize landfill waste and it will help in recycling programs to the
next level.
 STEP ONE: REFUSE
 STEP ONE- Refuse: The first element of this hierarchy is to learn to refuse waste in some
practices. One can refuse to buy wasteful or non- recyclable products when going shopping.
 Refuse: the first element of the 5 R's hierarchy. Learning to refuse waste can take some practice,
but incorporating this step into your business' strategy is the most effective way to minimize waste. Talk
to your procurement team about refusing to buy wasteful or non-recyclable products. When working
with vendors, refuse unnecessary product packaging and request reusable or returnable containers.
Making smarter purchasing decisions and setting standards and expectations early in the process makes
it easier for organizations to “refuse” waste in the first place.
Student Experience/Exercise/Activity: Student should do Demonstration

SESSION -12

date:-----/----/---
 STEP TWO- Reduce: The next step is to reduce the use of harmful, wasteful and the non-
recyclable products. Reducing dependency on such kinds of products will lower down the ratio
of waste material in the landfill and will also control.
 Reduce the use of harmful, wasteful, and non-recyclable products. Reducing dependency on
these kinds of products results in less waste materials ending up in landfill and the associated
negative environmental impacts. We recommend always using the minimum amount required
to avoid unnecessary waste. For example, when printing a document, print double-sided to cut
your waste output in half. Other commonly used items businesses can focus on reducing include
single-use plastics,
Ways to Reduce Waste
 Use a reusable bottle/cup for beverages on-the-go.
 Use reusable grocery bags, and not just for groceries.
 Purchase wisely and recycle.
 Compost it!
 Avoid single-use food and drink containers and utensils.
 Buy secondhand items and donate used goods.

SESSION -13

date:-----/----/---
 STEP THREE- Reuse: We all use the single-use plastics that are generally thrown - away once
used. They are the largest and greatest environmental challenges. One can, instead of throwing
them away, they can be reused again so as to reduce the plastic waste in the landfills.
 Reuse is the second preferred waste management option after waste reduction. Reuse is the
practice of using a material over and over again in its current form. The essence of reuse is that
it preserves some or all of the energy and materials that went into making an item. Society has
long embraced the practice of reuse by finding alternate uses for an item rather than disposing
or recycling it. Some common examples include donating used household items like books,
magazines, clothing, kitchen wares, etc. It may also include using empty food containers to store
leftovers or reusing plastic grocery sacks to line trash containers or pick up after pets.

SESSION -14

date:-----/----/---
 STEP FOUR- Repurpose- The things that cannot be refused, reduced or reused
must try to repurpose it. Many people now- a-days in the green community
have adopted this method. One must try to use the wasted paper, pens and
tin cans for holding pens and pencils.
For every item that can't be refused, reduced, or reused, try repurposing it. Many people in the green
community refer to this method as up cycling. You may be surprised to learn how many common office
products serve more than one purpose. Sometimes it requires using some creativity, but the possibilities
are endless. Try using wasted printer paper for scrap paper, cardboard boxes for storing supplies, binder
clips to hold power cords and chargers in place, and even mason jars, coffee mugs, and tin cans for
holding pens and pencils. Designate an area of your office as an Up cycle Station for collecting and
storing supplies. Encourage your colleagues to add items to the station they no longer need and to
check there before purchasing new supplies. We'd love to hear what products your business
repurposes!

SESSION -15

date:-----/----/---
 STEP FIVE- Recycle- Last but not the least is the process of recycling. One you've gone
through all the other R's, the last most important and eco- friendly waste disposal
method is recycling. All the waste paper, tin, glass can be recycled in the factories
and later can be used up for other purposes
Last but definitely not least: recycle. Once you've gone through all of the other R's, recycling is the most
environmentally friendly waste disposal method. If your business doesn't already, start collecting
cardboard, mixed paper products, commingled materials (plastics, aluminum, glass) and organics. Most
companies we speak with are surprised by the amount of waste they reduce by establishing an effective
recycling program

SESSION -16

Setting of the information imparting club for women leading to contribution in social and economic
issues
INTRODUCTION
The extent of empowerment of women in the national hierarchy is determined largely by the three
factors – her economic, social and political identity and their weightage. These factors are deeply
intertwined and interlinked with many cross cutting linkages which imply that if efforts in even one
dimension remain absent or weak, outcomes and momentum generated by the other components
cannot be sustained as they will not be able to weather any changes or upheavals. It is only when all the
three factors are simultaneously addressed and made compatible with each other can the woman be
truly empowered. Therefore for holistic empowerment of the woman to happen - social, economic and
political aspects impacting a woman’s life must converge effectively. Constitutional provisions Women
as an independent group constitute 48% of the country’s total population as per the 2001 Census. The
importance of women as a important human resource was recognized by the Constitution of India which
not only accorded equality to women but also empowered the State to adopt measures of positive
discrimination in their favor. A number of Articles of the Constitution specially reiterated the
commitment of the constitution towards the socio economic development of women and upholding
their political right and participation in decision making.
Article 14 - Men and women to have equal rights and opportunities in the political, economic and social
spheres. Article 15(1) - Prohibits discrimination against any citizen on the grounds of religion, race,
caste, sex etc. Article 15(3) - Special provision enabling the State to make affirmative discriminations in
favor of women. Article 16 - Equality of opportunities in matter of public appointments for all citizens.
Article 39(a) - The State shall direct its policy towards securing all citizens men and women, equally, the
right to means of livelihood. Article 39(d) – Equal pay for equal work for both men and women. Article
42 - The State to make provision for ensuring just and humane conditions of work and maternity relief.
Article 51 (A)(e) –To renounce the practices derogatory to the dignity of women
Equal Remuneration Act of 1976 provides for equal pay to men and women for equal work. Hindu
Marriage Act of 1955 amended in 1976 provides the right for girls to repudiate a child marriage before
attaining maturity whether the marriage has been consummated or not. The Marriage (Amendment)
Act, 2001 amended the Hindu Marriage Act, Special Marriage Act, Parsi Marriage and Divorce Act, the
Code of Criminal Procedure providing for speedy disposal of applications for maintenance; the ceiling
limit for claiming maintenance has been deleted and a wide discretion has been given to the Magistrate
to award appropriate maintenance. The Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act of 1956 as amended and
renamed in 1986 makes the sexual exploitation of male or female, a cognizable offence. It is being
amended to decriminalize the prostitutes and make the laws more stringent against traffickers. An
amendment brought in 1984 to the Dowry Prohibition Act of 1961 made women’s subjection to cruelty
a cognizable offence. The second amendment brought in 1986 makes the husband or in-laws
punishable, if a woman commits suicide within 7 years of her marriage and it has been proved that she
has been subjected to cruelty. Also a new criminal offence of ‘Dowry Death’ has been incorporated in
the Indian Penal Code. Child Marriage Restraint Act of 1976 raises the age for marriage of a girl to 18
years from 15 years and that of a boy to 21 years and makes offences under this Act cognizable. Medical
Termination Pregnancy Act of 1971 legalizes abortion by qualified professional on humanitarian or
medical grounds. The maximum punishment may go up to life imprisonment. The Act has further been
amended specifying the place and persons authorized to perform abortion and provide for penal actions
against the unauthorized persons performing abortions. Indecent Representation of Women
(Prohibition) Act of 1986 and the Commission of Sati (Prevention) Act, 1987 have been enacted to
protect the dignity of women and prevent violence against them as well as their exploitation. The
Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 provides for more effective protection of the
rights of women guaranteed under the Constitution who are victims of violence of any kind occurring
within the family and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto. It provides for immediate
and emergent relief to women in situations of violence of any kind in the home.

Economic Growth, Poverty and Gender Inequality
There exists a two-way link between economic growth and poverty, and gender inequality. On one level,
poverty and the lack of growth exacerbated gender disparities. Inequalities between girls and boys in
access to schooling or adequate health care were more acute among poor people than among those
with higher incomes. And while poor people had less access to such productive resources as land and
credit, poor women generally had the least access of all. Similarly, girls’ and women’s health and
schooling were more vulnerable to economic downturns than those of boys and men. On another level,
gender inequalities undermined the prospects for poverty reduction in fundamental ways. While
disparities in basic rights, access to schooling, credit and jobs, and the 21 ability to participate in public
life took their most direct toll on women and girls, the evidence showed that gender inequality
ultimately hindered economic growth
The rationale for economically empowering women is compelling for both for its own sake (intrinsic)
and for other spillover benefits (instrumental). Research indicates that economic participation of
women—their presence in the workforce in quantitative terms—is important not only for lowering the
disproportionate levels of poverty among women, but also as an important step toward raising
household income and encouraging economic development in countries as a whole. Amartya Sen makes
a compelling case for the notion that societies need to see women less as passive recipients of help, and
more as dynamic promoters of social transformation, a view strongly buttressed by a body of evidence
suggesting that the education, employment and ownership rights of women have a powerful influence
on their ability to control their environment and contribute to
economic development.

women and the LAW
date:-----/----/----
 The Constitution of India recognizes equality rights of women in Articles 14, 15 and 16. Article
15 (3) allows the state to take special measures for women and children to realize the guarantee
of equality. Despite different gender specific laws in place, women’s status in society continues
to be devalued. Gender based violence and discrimination faced by women are manifestations
of the devalued status of women. In order to find an enduring solution to gender based
violence, laws impacting on a woman’s equality rights have to be assessed and strictly
implemented. Laws prohibiting gender discrimination based in the home and in the public
sphere have to be evolved and implemented. As this process will take place in the years to
come, the aspect of gender based violence requires immediate attention. Hence the focus of the
action in the 11th 5 year plan is on issues of gender based violence. Simultaneous efforts to
improve women’s status through the use of laws will also be undertaken.
 Prevalence of gender based violence

 Legal regime on violence and equality rights of women
 Laws relating to violence against women
 Child marriage
 Organized crime – trafficking in women
 Community specific violence against women
 Discrimination against women
 women’s rights in the workplace
 Women and media

SOCIOECONOMIC AND CULTURAL INTERVENTIONS FOR VULNERABLE GROUPS
date:-----/----/----
The Tenth Five Year Plan categorized the developmental needs of the female population using the
tool of age and classified them into five age-groups, Girls in the age group of 0-14. Adolescent girls
in the age group of 15-19,Women in the reproductive age group of 15 to 44, Women in the
economically active age group of 15 to 59, Older women in the age group of 60+ and above. The
first two categories comprising infants, children and young girls represent roughly half of the
country’s female population. Within these two categories, there are especially defenseless sub-
groups, such as the girl children of tender years, when discrimination in matters such as food
intake, health and medical care, schooling, recreational facilities etc. is entrenched both within
families as well as communities as well as larger social formations. Another group consists of girls
stepping from child hood to adolescence, facing a new grown-up world, with very little preparation
of learning, knowledge or skills, or of how to come to terms with their own emerging sexuality in a
patriarchal environment.
While age is an important marker in categorizing women, there is also the necessity of looking at
other criteria such as those based on certain socio-economic differentials. Besides looking into
women, on the whole, as a discriminated lot, it is important to reflect on the reality that women are
not a homogenous category. The draft Approach Paper to the Eleventh Plan repeatedly emphasizes
the need to restructure growth as a broad and inclusive process. It frankly admits that even the
achievement of reaching broad based and inclusive growth will not suffice to reach “certain
marginalized groups’ and that the 11th Plan must pay special attention to the needs of these groups.
The Paper points to SC’s, ST’s, some OBC’s and minorities as those who are lagging behind. The
women and girls belonging to such groups are doubly disadvantaged and, therefore, need more
attention in the XI Plan

SESSION -05
Social empowerment
date:-----/----/---
Education is a key intervention in initiating and sustaining processes of empowerment. Good quality
education can help women and marginalized communities improve their status, enable them to have
greater access to information and resources and to challenge various forms of discrimination. Education
helps strengthen democratic processes as it allows for greater and more equitable participation. Being
educated or literate leads to greater self-confidence and self-esteem. It enables engagement with
development processes and institutions of governance from a position of strength. Poor women from
socially disadvantaged communities are invariably not literate and therefore find themselves at a
disadvantage when participating in development processes. They are unable to take full advantage of
progressive measures like reservations in PRIs. Many of the negative fall-outs of being outside the
education net for women are quite recognized, however, the articulation of the problem tends to remain at
the level of rhetoric.
It is however, important to recognize that while being literate or educated is necessary for empowerment
it does not automatically ensure it. For that we need an education that is of good quality and promotes
critical thinking. From the perspective of gender this means that education and literacy should enable
women and girls to critically analyze their situations, raise questions about their subordination and help
them make informed choices. It is well known that the institution of schooling is an important site for
socialization, that actually can actually reinforces rather than challenges patriarchy and gender
discrimination. It is in this context that the content and pedagogy of education become critical
considerations.
The focus of educational planning is on formal education but this is only one dimension of the
educational provisioning. Especially when considering the needs of deprived women and when women’s
empowerment is our main aim, there is a need to think about well-developed and structured educational
interventions outside the formal system. Capacity building interventions are in essence educational and
learning processes and must therefore be invested in, well-designed and conceived as a sustained, rather
than ad hoc process. Such interventions must necessarily be broad based and flexible and address a
number of different needs, including literacy.

SESSION -06
Political empowerment date:-----/----/---
Much of the country’s governance has been left to the hands of elected representatives and the official
machinery. It has been increasingly recognized that such a centralized approach has not produced
desired results, especially in terms of the inclusion of marginalized sectors within governance processes.
Notable Constitutional, legislative and policy reforms within the last decade, including the 73rd and 74th
amendments and the continued administrative decentralization through programs like NRHM, have
demonstrated the Government of India’s commitment to increasing the political participation of
marginalized groups, especially poor women.
Women’s increased political participation has yielded positive results. First, issues central to
development, including health, nutrition, family income and education, take center stage as women
participate in the PRI, village development boards and other governance structures. Secondly, women
have shown that they have critical information about community resources, are adept at managing
funds, result in more inclusive governance and learn quickly about how to lead effective community-
centered development.
Despite such positive results, women remain largely excluded from the PRI and other local governance
structures. Proxy politics, power brokering and gender discrimination continue, and many women
sarpanches have had to face extreme violence for challenging existing societal power centers. In other
cases, women are only within the PRI in name, but in reality, it is male family members who hold the
power. In spite of the affirmative action in panchayati raj in favor of marginalized communities,
exclusion of caste, poverty, tribal status, gender and caste sharply demarcate those who have political
power from those who do not.

Institutional mechanisms
date:-----/----/---
Institutional mechanisms for the advancement of women include institutions of different types which
support the cause of women’s advancement. The various institutional mechanisms that are contributing
/ will contribute to the achievement of women’s empowerment and gender equality as laid down in the
Eleventh Plan are listed below
 Government structures with a mandate for women such as Ministries,Departments, focal
points, bureaus, cells, desks, coordination units and committees, inter-agency committees etc.
 Government-sponsored dedicated agencies for women, such as Commissions, Boards,
Committees, Councils, Corporations, Women’s Resource Centers, Women’s Studies Centers,
grass roots formations such as Mahila Mandals, Self Help Groups etc.
 The Parliamentary Committee on the Empowerment of Women Institutions of local
government such as the three tiered panchayats and urban local bodies which are to be
delegated vast administrative, financial and legal powers across the development sectors,
including social and women’s development.etc
 The National Policy for Empowerment of Women (2001) had announced formation of National
and State Councils to oversee the operationalization of the Policy on an ongoing basis. The
National Council was to be headed by the Prime Minister, and the State Councils by the Chief
Ministers. They had to be broad in composition, with officials as well as Central and State Social
Welfare Boards, National and State Commissions, NGO’s, women’s organizations, trade unions,
academics, experts, social activists, etc. These bodies were to meet twice a year and review the
progress made in implementing the National Policy. Further, the National Development Council,
the highest body in the government hierarchy , which has to officially approve all the five year
plans, was also to be informed of the progress of the programs undertaken under the Policy
from “time to time” and their advice sought.
