West Bengal has undertaken multiple educational and welfare initiatives to uplift women\u2019s status. This study explores the role of education, government programmes, and social transformation in advancing women\u2019s empowerment in the state. A qualitative approach based on thematic analysis of secondary sources\u2014such as policy documents, reports, and scholarly works\u2014has been employed. Findings reveal that rising female literacy, participation in Self-Help Groups (SHGs), and schemes like Kanyashree and Anandadhara have positively influenced women\u2019s socio-economic conditions. However, persistent challenges such as poverty, gender bias, and limited employment opportunities remain. The study highlights the need for strengthened educational access, financial inclusion, and awareness initiatives to ensure sustainable empowerment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Women\u2019s Empowerment, Socio-Economic Development, Education, Public Policy, West Bengal, Gender Equity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-1-color has-text-color\"><strong>Page No: 302-308<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-ast-global-color-6-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/bijmrd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/V4-I2-302-308.pdf\">download journal<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: Dr. Pankaj Kumar Paul DOI Link: https:\/\/doi.org\/10.70798\/Bijmrd\/04020039 Abstract : Socio-economic empowerment is central to achieving gender equity and sustainable development.
