Gender equality is part of development strategy in many countries of the world including India. Despite considerable efforts towards advocacy and awareness of gender equality and launching of various programmes for welfare of women, gender discrimination in India remains pervasive in many dimensions of life. Gender gaps are widespread in respect of access to and control of resources, economic opportunities, and political voice. Women are still exploited, discriminated against and subjected to harassment and violence. The volume covers various dimensions and strategies of gender development. It has emerged from the research papers contributed by social scientists and academicians from different parts of India, focusing on specific gender-related issues. Both primary and secondary data have been used by the authors to analyse the problems and conclude with suggestions. The themes which the volume covers are: agriculture and gender development, micro-credit financing and women empowerment, role of self-help Groups (SHGs) and NGOs in socio-economic development of women, land rights and livelihood, MDGs and women, health and education of women and violence agianst women.
