Technology and Women Empowerment with Reference to the Emerging Indian Economy

One major indicator to measure a country’s progress is the status of its women’s population. In India, women form about 48% of the population (World Bank report - 2012). With women constituting almost half its population, any attempt to improve the socio-economic condition of India would be incomplete without measuring the progress of women. Indian economy is rapidly surging on the path to development and technology is playing massive role in the gender empowerment in this development process. This paper delves into the question whether the efforts of the government and other social organizations have been able to empower the women in India? The paper discusses whether women’s access to technology and resources has been able to improve their well-being. Whether technology has been able to open up opportunities for women, especially in the rural areas. It also discusses the challenges faced by women in their exposure to technology in work place and in day to day life and the measures to overcome those challenges.
