Book excerpt: Panchayats are local governments mandated in the Constitution of India. As per the Constitution, a three-tier structure of panchayats is in place across the country, excepting areas where Part IX of the Constitution does not apply. Panchayats are to be instituted, through elections every five years, except in States with a population of less than 20 lakh, where panchayats at two tiers may be created. The Constitution recognizes the gram sabha, i.e. all the electors in a village panchayat. The Constitution provides that seats and offices of chairpersons be reserved for scheduled castes (SCs) and scheduled tribes (STs) in proportion to their respective population, and not less than one-third seats and offices of the chairpersons be reserved for women, including within the SC and ST reservations. Women's increased political participation has yielded positive results. Issues central to development-including health, nutrition, family income and education-have taken center stage as women participate in panchayati raj institutions (PRIs), village development boards, and other governance structures. India has primarily relied upon this method of reservation to ensure women's presence in decision-making bodies. This has increased de jure, but not necessarily de facto, participation. There is a need to encourage women's participation in other kinds of groups and associations which contribute to an atmosphere of leadership by women. This book discusses the background and future possibilities of women and PRIs. [Subject: Gender Studies, India Studies, Constitutional Studies]

Download or read book Life Histories of Women Panchayat Sarpanches from Haryana India written by Kavita Chakravarty and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2017-06-23 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume represents a collection of life histories of women who live in rural Haryana. It looks at the impact of the 73rd Amendment to India’s constitution, which introduced reservations in the political arena for women. The Panchayati Raj Act of 1992 reserved one third of all Sarpanch positions for women, and granted constitutional status to the Panchayat system, outlining its specific functions and jurisdiction. This book enhances existing scholarship on the impact of these changes in that it provides the opportunity for women Sarpanches from Haryana to speak for themselves and reflect upon their journey. Ten elected women Sarpanches share their stories about their lives, from childhood to adolescence to adulthood. Their life histories address the following questions: Who are these women who agreed to run for a reserved seat in the elections? What motivated them? Why were they asked to run? What barriers do they face? Do they feel they are making a difference? Indeed, these stories reflect the lived realities of the women impacted by the changes in legislation.

Download or read book From Oppression to Assertion written by Nirmala Buch and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-12 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book explores the experiences, impact and responses of women in village panchayats in India after a Constitutional Amendment in 1992 made it mandatory to reserve one-third positions for women. Based on extensive field research with interviews of 1,200 panchayat representatives and community members in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh (states usually seen as low on social and gender indicators), the book documents awareness, motivation, perceptions, and participation levels of women elected in the first election following the Amendment, with a follow-up survey of the same panchayats in the next two elections. This work maps the empowering impact on women’s self, the attitudes and perceptions of the family and responses of other social institutions. It explodes the myth of women’s disinterest in politics, the entry of only affluent women and relatives of influential politicians, and particularly, of these women as proxy for their male kin. The recent policy announcements reserving more seats for women in panchayats (from one-third to one-half) makes this book topical, and especially interesting in light of the opposition to the reservation of seats for women in state legislatures and the parliament.

Download or read book Women in Panchayati Raj Institutions written by Ashok Kumar Jha and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite Reservation For Women, Effective Participation In Panchayati Raj Institutions Has Failed Due To Misuse And Manipulation By Local Power Brokers. Ignorance Of Women About Their Rights And Procedures And About Their Potential And Responsibilities Has Kept Them Far Behind Men In The Local Bodies. It Is Very Much Doubtful That Mere Increase In Number Of Reserved Seats For Women In Local Bodies Is Likely To Increase Participation Of Women. Unless Structural Changes Are Brought About And A Sincere Effort Is Made To Educate Women And The Power Structures Existing In Rural Areas Are Neutralised, Nothing Much Can Be Achieved. All These Issues Have Been Discussed In This Book And Hence, It Is Hoed That It Will Be Of Much Use Of All Those Reading With Pri In Our Country.
