Women's Empowerment and Government Policies in Assam: An Analysis

Author(s) Dr. Chakrapani Patir
Country India
Abstract Women’s empowerment is a multi-dimensional process involving economic, social, political, and psychological transformation. In Assam, the State and Central governments have introduced a range of schemes and policy instruments aimed at improving women’s socio-economic status, ensuring safety, and expanding political and entrepreneurial opportunities. This paper examines major government initiatives in Assam, including Orunodoi, Swanirbhar Naari, Arundhati/Arundhati Gold, Mission Shakti components, ASRLM support for Self-Help Groups (SHGs), and recent mobility and entrepreneurship efforts, and analyses their design, implementation, outcomes, and gaps. Drawing from official scheme descriptions, recent reporting, and program documents, the paper argues that while Assam’s policy mix shows commitment and innovation, critical implementation challenges (targeting, financial inclusion, capacity building, gendered social norms, monitoring, and convergence) limit transformational impact. The paper concludes with practical recommendations for strengthening outcomes: better targeting and data systems, capacity building for women’s collectives, stronger linkages to markets, gender-sensitive monitoring and evaluation, and multi-sectoral convergence to tackle structural barriers.
