weaker sections that face discrimination include- women, scheduled castes(SC), scheduled tribes (ST), children, disabled, aged, poor migrants, sexual minorities, people suffering from HIV/AIDS, and other backward classes.

Women are estimated at 50% of the whole population at the world level. And we recognize them as a weaker
section ... Is it not strange..???? Students …!!!
Not strange...!!!!

(3) Indicators of women’s weaker section
What are the problems of the weaker section?
What are indicators of women's weaker section?
(1) Historical:- From ancient
times in India, we have male-dominated culture. Where women have been given the second status. For example, in ancient Indian culture, there was the practice of sati
system. Where women had to burn in fire. Still today there is a dowry & widow
system in practice. In this way, women suffer from ancient times, and this is one of
the indicators of women’s weaker Section.

(3) Social: - According to human rights, men & women are
equal though women are not allowed to perform all the rituals. During the menstrual
cycle, women are not allowed everywhere. In ancient times and still, today in our
society feticide is taking place. In society, women are being harassed in many
ways.
(4) Biological: - Women are biologically different from men
so she has to bear the burden of motherhood. While this, if the women do not
get proper hospitality during pregnancy the mortality rate increases in the population of women.
(5) Ideological: - As women think that they belong to the weaker
section they do not communicate their problems to anyone. Women think that from ancient times they suffered and she thinks that this might be her destiny. And
this narrow mindset doesn’t allow her development.

(6)Politically:- After getting 33 % reservation in local governance still, we are not finding that the women are getting benefits from it. For example, in some places, we find that the nameplate is of women but indirectly authority belongs to men.
(7) Educational:-From ancient times in India, women do not get a proper education. Still in some villages of India girls are made to work at home instead of going to school. Verbal & sexual harassment is the cause of dropping out of school of the girl child. Even lack of Sanitization is a cause for dropping school. We can see that In 2021 Male literacy rate is 82.14% and the Female Literacy rate is 65.46% according to the Census of India. This also indicates how women are weaker in the educational field.

The progress and prosperity of any country can be by the
socioeconomic positioning of its citizens mainly the deprived sections of the
society which are the women, children, scheduled caste, tribal, and the disabled
population who suffer from poverty, disease, unemployment, and much other
social deprivation.
Such sections of our society must be noticed by the state,
policymakers, planners, social welfare administrators, social scientists, and
academicians, so that legislations, policies, and programs are formatted in line
with the constitution of our country. As a result, the country progresses as a
whole, not just some sections doing well and others being left behind.
