Description :
Women are a great human resource and the role of women in society is absolutely vital for its progress. The sustainable development of the country depends upon the maximum utilization of her people, both men and women. Our goal in this paper is to examine the role and influence of women empowerment can be considered as an important indicator for socio – economic development. Inclusive development must involve women since poverty is particularly acute for women living in rural households. There is a need to empower these poor women through science and Technology (S & T). Discussions on the recently announced Science, Technology and Innovation policy, 2013, however, have not deliberated what the policy entails not only for women involved in S & T but also what S &T has to offer to the poor rural women and improve their lives.
