The current study tries to investigate the condition of women in India via several indicators from the secondary information from UNDP. In the whole world, the study of women empowerment has been an attractive issue including in India for a few decades. The term empowerment does not mean giving authority or power to people; they already have enough power in terms of the wealth of their skills, knowledge to do their job brilliantly rather it means improving their status, way of living and, a comprehensive viewpoint of life. India`s women are relatively less empowered compared to counterpart males despite numerous initiatives undertaken by government bodies. There is still exist variation among gender, especially in terms of literacy and occupation patterns. However, women's empowerment is the necessity of the process of socio-economic and political upliftment of the community. The level of mobility and decision-making autonomy by women varies with age, level of education and occupation status. It is found that some ancient norms and rituals still prevail in the communities which have to be followed by the women. The majority of the women accept as true that domestic violence such as wife-beating to justified for one reason or the others. However, a very less proportion of women argued that they have autonomy about how to spend their household income and this power grows with age, education and occupation. Moreover, women`s coverage of social media is also less than men's in the rural sector. Rural women are more suffer from domestic violence compared to urban areas. The research reveals that education and employment are the main two factors responsible for the enhancement of empowerment and, improved socio-economic status (SES) of women.
