However, in recent years, efforts have been made to address the socio-economic challenges faced by the people living in the region. This case study examines the role of women's empowerment and people's participation in the development process in the Mewat region. The study highlights the fact that women in the Mewat region have traditionally been excluded from decision-making processes and have limited access to resources and opportunities. However, through the efforts of various organizations and initiatives, women's empowerment has become a key factor in the development process in the region. The study also shows that people's participation is essential for the success of development initiatives. The involvement of the local community in the planning and implementation of development projects has helped to ensure that the initiatives are responsive to the needs of the people and are sustainable over the long term. The case study highlights several examples of successful development initiatives in the Mewat region, including the establishment of self-help groups, the promotion of women's education and health, and the development of local infrastructure. These initiatives have contributed to the empowerment of women and the improvement of the overall quality of life in the region. Overall, the case study demonstrates that women's empowerment and people's participation are crucial for the success of development initiatives in marginalized regions like Mewat. By including women and the local community in the development process, it is possible to create sustainable change and improve the lives of those who have historically been left behind.| Item type | Current location | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
