Education Minister Reports 37% Increase In Women’s Workforce Participation In India For FY23

• The participation of women in India’s workforce has seen a significant increase, reaching 37 per cent during the 2022-23 fiscal year, according to Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. This remarkable upsurge, compared to the 23 per cent recorded in 2017-18, reflects the impact of the government’s focused efforts to empower women in the workplace.

• Pradhan emphasized that the government has given a high priority to women in policy-making and leadership roles. This emphasis on diversity at decision-making levels contributes to more inclusive and gender-aware policies that benefit women in various sectors.

• The ‘Rozgar Mela,’ in Bhubaneshwar where Minister Pradhan made these announcements, is an excellent example of how government efforts are making a positive impact. Pradhan distributed appointment letters of different central organizations to 172 individuals, illustrating the tangible benefits of these initiatives. This not only offers people employment but also contributes to the country’s economic growth.
