diverse challenges and empower women in all aspects of life. While these initiatives have brought significant progress, challenges like implementation gaps, awareness issues, and societal barriers remain. A coordinated approach, involving government agencies, civil society, and private sector stakeholders, is essential to ensure that the benefits of these schemes reach every woman in India.
