    About the book

    The present book throws light on the system of Panchayati Raj in India in general and in West Bengal in particular. It focuses on the role of women in politics and women empowerment. In the hierarchy of the system of the Panchayati Raj, the Village Panchayat stands as the lowest unit. There is a Panchayat for each village or a group of villages in case of the population of these villages happens to be too small. The Panchayat chiefly consists of representatives elected by the people of the village. On the part of women, they form a vital but vulnerable section of society. She is a pivot round which the whole family revolves. Family is considered the cradle of the society. In a country like India which boasts its glorious heritage, where women has not only enjoyed equal status but has been described in the annals of history as more than the better half.
