- (a) & (b) : The Ministry has prepared National Policy for Women (NPW) 2016 keeping in view the socio economic changes that have occurred since the last policy formulation in 2001.

Framing  of  Action  Plans  at  the  national,  State  and  local  level,  strengthening  gender institutional architecture, enacting new legislations and reviewing/harmonizing legislations, engaging with stakeholders for advocacy and awareness generation, strengthening institutionalization of gender budgeting  and creating an effective gender based data base are  the  salient  features  of  the  National  Policy  for  Women.    The  proposal  is  to  be  placed before the Group of Ministers.
