“Women’s empowerment” has become a buzzword in social sciences. Empowerment means making someone more capable of something. It means making a person capable socially, economically, intellectually, spiritually, emotionally, politically. It is the capacity building of persons in the fields of science, arts, music, sports and games etc.
Women can truly experience empowerment when they have the liberty to communicate and convey their thoughts, ideas, and feelings freely. The most powerful decision-making authority lies with women when it comes to determining what is suitable or unsuitable for themselves. Women have suffered through the decades because they didn’t have any rights. In earlier centuries, they were treated as almost non-existent. As times evolved, women started realizing their power. There on began the revolution for women empowerment.
Draupadi Murmu, the first Tribal female President of India, First Citizen, a role model, is an empowered woman in India. We salute her having achieved the highest honour of the most prestigious status in Indian political career from the most vulnerable section of women in the Indian society. Republic Day Parade 2023 was unique in displaying the power of women, “NAARI SHAKTI” in the fields of Indian Army, Navy, Defense and so on.
