Question
Although a legal framework for delegating Power to the People has been established, it is yet to be given an iron content. Explain briefly the limitations inefficient working of local self-governments under the following headline:
Suppressed position of rural women
Solution
Suppressed position of rural women:
The 73rd and 74th Amendment Acts lay down that l/3rd of the total number of seats at all levels would be reserved for women. The socio-economic condition of tribal women or those belonging to rural or backward regions is no better than second-rate citizens. They have to face stiff opposition from their parents or in-laws if they wish to enter public life. At many places, women elected as Sarpanchas were not allowed to take charge of their work. They are discouraged from going to Panchayat’s office and if they dare go there, they would simply be required to sign some documents and go back to their homes.
