Abstract

This study has adopted the qualitative research approach to analyse how Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) support women's empowerment in the Karnal district of Haryana. The research examines gender from a sociological perspective and emphasizes the value of women's contributions to the society. The research evaluates the role of PRIs on women's empowerment and explores whether PRIs are failing to fulfil their intended purpose. The study is carried out through qualitative data-gathering methods such as focus group discussions, interviews, and talks with PRI beneficiaries, officials, and expert. The prime objective of the study is to analyse how PRIs played pivotal role in women's empowerment and determine whether the study of PRI’s is succeeding in its primary goal of women empowerment. The key findings of the study have revealed that the potential of women and their capacity has substantially improved in the realm of local level governance and society at large. Notwithstanding the difficulties, the women of Karnal have demonstrated fortitude and a desire to break down boundaries and empower themselves. In order to promote sustainable and equitable women's empowerment in Karnal and other comparable places, the study emphasizes the need for improving PRI initiatives and promoting greater gender equality. The study laid emphasis on sociological viewpoints on gender and the place of women in society, and it highlights the significance of promoting greater gender equality to achieve sustainable development. Nonetheless, there is still an opportunity for improvement as certain regions have been slow to implement these adjustments. To ensure that women's empowerment through PRIs is a reality for all women in India, efforts must continue.
