| contents | <p>Abstract: In rural areas of Jharkhand marginalized communities of women groups are in<br>struggling phase because of limited reach of government schemes and education. Present study<br>is based on descriptive and analytical methodology and Jharkhand state has been selected as<br>a sample of secondary data. The shift between the National Family Health Survey-4 (2015–16)<br>and NFHS-5 (2019–21) was the particular focus of this study, along with the impact of<br>Government welfare schemes. In the investigation it has been shown that in NFHS- 5 the<br>literacy rate rose from 59.1% to 61.7%. Furthermore, girls’ percentage aged between 6 to 17<br>years attaining school reached 82.9%. The percentage of women (aged 20–24) married before<br>the legal age of 18 dropped from 38% (NFHS-4) to 32.2% (NFHS-5). Decision making power<br>regarding their own earnings is still lacking by 49% according to NFHS- 5 data. After analysis<br>of data, it has been found that literacy rate, attaining schooling, has risen with time. Early<br>marriage decreased because of education. The data showed that decision-making barriers still<br>exist at home. We need men and community leaders to change their mindset regarding women’s<br>roles in financial and family decisions. Women centric Government schemes like<br>Mukhyamantri Maiyan Samman Yojna (for enhancement of financial independence) and<br>Savitri Bai Phule Kishori Samridhi Yojna (stop child marriage and promoting education) have<br>played a pivotal role in driving women's empowerment. As per economic survey 2025-26,<br>₹13,363 crore has been shifted towards women-centric schemes, representing roughly 11% of<br>the state's budgeted revenue receipts. However, women are not fully able to access these<br>schemes. Sometimes, they receive the funds delayed. Timely payments should be ensured so<br>that they can use this support to start small businesses.<br>Keywords: Social transformation, Economic transformation, Women empowerment</p> |
