Vishwaguru Bharat is the vision of India being a teacher that inspires the world with its culture and holistic development. A key component of this vision is acknowledging women as playing a central role in India’s socio-economic and cultural development. Despite their immense historical roles, women’s contributions have frequently been overlooked.

This paper signifies how the status of women evolved from ancient to modern India, with Gargi and Rani Lakshmibai of Jhansi being a few of the scholars and leaders who guided history through their intelligence and bravery. One of the most important tools of empowerment is education that has improved after independence, through schemes like the Right to Education Act and “Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao”,  which has made women develop more in various sectors.

Women have been entering politics in increasing numbers, the best-known examples being Indira Gandhi and Mamata Banerjee. The Women’s Reservation Bill is an attempt to expand this inclusivity. They are also economically women lend a lot of time, energy and money to households and enterprises through programs on micro-credit. They also promote and preserve India’s cultural heritage globally.

But problems of the gender gap and social subjugation still exist that will need to be addressed through policy reforms and changes in attending Vishwaguru Bharat. India, by embracing inclusion and fairness, can ascend to its place in the world and propel the world.
