Women traditionally constitute the most disadvantaged sections of society. The stress on imunisation, family planning, mental health care, prenatal and postnatal care and general emphasis on sanitation has contributed to better health. Urbanization has to some extent reduced the customary neglect of female infants, which continues to be feature of rural areas. More and more female children have been encouraged to attend school. As a result female literacy rate in urban as well as in rural areas has moved up. It is therefore vital that job opportunities for women need to be expanded and facilities provided to encourage self-employment. Organizing Self Help Groups in rural areas is a step in this direction. It has benefitted the women both in terms developing their skill and at the same time enabled them to earn handsome income for the family. Congress government is conscious that a situation still remains where women, as in all other places, are vulnerable to exploitation. Congress is committed to undertake all those steps which ensure can fast improve the position of women.
