The divergence in gender counts amongst all countries has caused unrest in multinational platforms almost a decade ago. Gender equality and women empowerment is the third goal amongst eight most concerning causes as per united nation’s millennium development goals. After years of policy intervention socio-economic situations have diverged to an extent that new goals and impact studies are required for further improvements. India has shown one of the best results in addressing all eight goals. However, inequality within Indian states has increased remarkably. The backwardness of women from these states is due to gender gap in almost all aspect of socio economic study. The concept of gender equality has been gaining importance as the subordinate status of women in relation to men has been seen in almost every facets of life. This research work describes discrepancy in educational policies, employment initiatives and social norms which keep a larger portion of population deprived of rights. Policy recommendation of women empowerment and social restructuring is provided in the last segment.

The divergence in gender counts amongst all countries has caused unrest in multinational platforms almost a decade ago. Gender equality and women empowerment is the third goal amongst eight most concerning causes as per united nation’s millennium development goals. After years of policy intervention socio-economic situations have diverged to an extent that new goals and impact studies are required for further improvements. India has shown one of the best results in addressing all eight goals. However, inequality within Indian states has increased remarkably. The backwardness of women from these states is due to gender gap in almost all aspect of socio economic study. The concept of gender equality has been gaining importance as the subordinate status of women in relation to men has been seen in almost every facets of life. This research work describes discrepancy in educational policies, employment initiatives and social norms which keep a larger portion of population deprived of rights. Policy recommendation of women empowerment and social restructuring is provided in the last segment.
