Abstract

The Mahila Samakhya (MS) programme, started in 1989 as a national programme for women’s empowerment under the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), was a response to the 1986 education policy that recognised education as a means of empowerment and transformation, and also acknowledged women’s empowerment as key to social transformation.
