Women\u2019s political participation and empowerment cannot be confined to merely political rights. This study has been carried out to take valuable feedback regarding the performance of women who were local representatives of their area and to understand what women as ordinary voters think about women who are active in politics and part of local administration. For this purpose a field study was conducted across different areas of the state in order to study the nature of political participation among rural and urban women in the state. Total 404 women were interviewed during the field study, 192 women from the rural area and 212 from the urban area across the five districts in the state. The findings indicate that Women in the villages were mostly dependent on a Pradha\/Mukhiya\/Councillor for all sorts of help be it economic or social and women Voters in the village had individual capacity to judge a candidate based on their campaigning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keywords: <\/strong>Village, Women Voters, Economic, Social, Political Participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Page No<\/strong>: 91-97<\/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\/2025\/01\/91-97.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">download journal<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: Ms. Ajija Sultana DOI Link: https:\/\/doi.org\/10.70798\/Bijmrd\/021000011 Abstract: Political participation is not only a symbol of women\u2019s empowerment by promoting women\u2019s interest but also creates further awareness and mobilizes other women to be a part of the political arena.
