A Study on Awareness of Women about Government Programmes

Government plan and execute various programmes for making women empowered but in real women are not aware about such efforts or benefits. So the aim of present study is to identify the level of awareness of women about Government programme. Primary data were collected through interview schedule from six villages of Saurikh village of Kanpur district and percentage was used as statistical measure. The study show that majority of working women were more aware about programmes and considering themselves as empowered on the economic ground, while non-working women were not. The reason behind this is they were limited upto household duties and responsibilities, and they belonged to similar group. So they have no opportunity to get information about Government endeavours for their welfare. Therefore, Government should plan and execute programme in considering women and their socio-economic status and should facilitate them in every sphere of assistance.
