Abstract:
This research attempts to examine the Gandhian model of self-reliance (Swarojgar) and its power to influence change for women in the Indian socioeconomic environment. Based on self-employment through scattered, small businesses, Gandhi's strategy for rural economic independence revolved on Swarojgar, a fundamental concept. Particularly in helping women in rural regions, the study examines the historical impact of Gandhian concepts and their application in the present. It evaluates contemporary policy initiatives such Atmanirbhar Bharat and Startup India in tandem with effective case studies to provide a complete picture of how Gandhi's ideas may be applied to solve current problems. At last, the report provides suggestions for policies using Swarojgar to boost women's economic power.
