Book excerpt: “Health Programmes and Empowerment of Rural Women: An Evaluation with special reference to District Almora, Uttarakhand” deals with evidence-based findings that emerge directly from the studies carried out in field. Rural women of Uttarakhand are the backbone of the social, economic and cultural structure of the State. They not only look after the young and the old in the household, but also carry out a number of chores and are consistently put to arduous multi-tasking. Of late, concern for their health, has become one of the focal points in the policy arena. It is also well known that there is an intrinsic relationship between women’s health and their empowerment. In-depth analysis resulting from field study of the impact of different health programmes for women launched by the government has been presented in the book. The impact of programmes which have bearing on women's health, such as NRHM (now NHM), JSY, JSSK, VHND, RCH, ARSH, RBSK and immunisation programmes have been covered in detail. Conclusions are drawn based on data collected from field. The analysis of this data provides a deep insight into the true picture of the health programmes in hill villages. The book presents an in-depth study and field reality on women-health related issues and impact of different government programmes. A methodology of calculating Health Empowerment Index (HEI) for rural women has also been devised. The endeavour has been to evaluate the impact of health schemes on rural women in the study area. It is expected that the book would generate interest amongst the policy makers, social scientists, scholars and people working in the field of development planning with special concern for empowerment of rural women and also provide impetus to further studies in the area.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To address the goal 5 (Gender Equality) of Sustainable Development, it is deemed vital that we first understand the gender inequalities and the contribution of the second gender, i.e. women. We need to bring women into the mainstream to bring both genders at par. Since most of our population lives in villages, we need to have an in-depth knowledge of rural women's role in the development and understand the means and ways to empower them holistically, be it in terms of education, social, technological, political, legal etc. Today's environment calls for a need for women in rural areas to go in for bringing the various drudgery-reducing technologies into practice as well as empower themselves economically through Self Help Groups (SHGs). Rural women must understand the coping strategies associated with climate change which is again a challenge, and the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to be more informed and empowered citizens for the welfare of their families, communities, societies and the nation at large. To attain the national goal of doubling the farmers' income by 2022, rural women's economic contribution must be increased through entrepreneurship. To make this dream come true, rural women need to be educated, malnutrition in rural areas; especially among women, needs to be removed, they will have to be technologically empowered, and rural women need to break the shackles of traditional hiccups and be aware of the latest information related to government programmes and schemes along with legal literacy concerning them to be able to understand the various provisions made available by the government for them and to enable them to enforce the same. This book encapsulated all the required dimensions of rural women empowerment: education, health & nutrition, technological empowerment, political empowerment instruments like the Panchayati Raj system, economic empowerment through entrepreneurship, etc. It covers the health challenges of women labourers, hill women, drudgery issues of brick layering women, women and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and constriants to women's empowerment. A few case studies and success stories of women entrepreneurs find their place in this book. The book also provides solutions to the issues of rural women, such as knowledge about those government schemes and programmes that empower women and provides women strength with the golden rays of constitutional mandates to make them sabla from abla. In a nutshell, this book provides conceptual clarity regarding the concept of women empowerment, the different dimensions of empowerment, issues and strategies to cope with the same in one place.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite rising prosperity for some groups, recent years have seen further declines in the standard of living of the poorest. A major question remains in the relationship between social and economic change and changes in the basic dimensions of wellbeing. Health is a fundamental aspect of wellbeing and rural women are the most vulnerable group. The book discusses the health situation of women in rural India and includes original research results. It explores the continuing effects of culture in the health care behaviour and in the utilization of health care service. The major emphasis of the book is on socioeconomic and cultural factors influencing maternal and child health care practices and the reproductive health of rural women. The book is based on a framework adopted from McCarthy and Maine - but its original contribution is in the differentiation between cultural and socio-economic factors.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to identify and explore about the impact of the land rights utilization for the empowerment of rural women especially with respect to Tamil Nadu. Land rights equity is considered to be the most important tool for encouraging empowerment and financial wellbeing for women in developing regions. Around the world, gender-based discrimination is considered as most common form of disadvantage which affects land rights equity. Most of people are aware about this fact but it was not rectified for further improvements. Land rights of women are most important as it paves a way for sustainable livelihoods and also assures food security. Women are facing lot of difficulties in accessing land rights although it is widely recognized as most important for the development of women.Recognizing and securing land rights of women are vital to improve the women empowerment and their welfare. This study has been conducted through the both primary and secondary data which means it uses literature study as secondary data and both quantitative and qualitative research as primary data in order to deal with land rights utilization for the empowerment of rural women. This research adapts descriptive research design and also incorporated purposive and judgemental sampling for choosing the respondents. For quantitative research, survey was conducted by providing closed ended questionnaires to 415 respondents (Rural women involved in agriculture of the two districts, Thiruvannamalai and Salem of Tamil Nadu). For qualitative study, interview is conducted with 12 respondents (4 BC women, 6 SC women, 1 ST and 1 MBC woman). The results of the study are to be analyzed with techniques. The results of the study reveal that, land rights have ability to enhance the level of food security and nutrition of women, socio-cultural capital, economical capital and political empowerment. The study concludes that, rural women create major and various contributions to the nation including accomplishment of nutrition and food security, sustainable use of land, and decision making process in agricultural sector. Lack of land rights not only reduces women's autonomy and voice, but also affects their self-esteem and their wellbeing. Thus, this study recommends empowering women is most important for increased well-being and effective growth of children and also for long-standing socio-economic development and reduced poverty for future generation.
