Abstract
Empowerment of women is essentially the process of upliftment of the economic, social, and political status of women. Government schemes play a vital role in the empowerment of women by providing them with the necessary support, resources, and opportunities to improve their social, economic, and political status. The present study examines the awareness levels of rural women in Nalbari district, Assam, regarding various government schemes designed to promote their welfare and empowerment. Through this paper, the investigators have tried to study the different government schemes and their perception of the schemes. In this paper, the investigators used the descriptive survey method. Both primary and secondary sources of data are considered when conducting the study. The data were collected from 50 rural women from Nalbari District of Assam. To gather primary data for the study, the investigator employed a checklist and conducted group discussions with rural women. The findings of the study revealed that most of the rural women are aware of the different government schemes, and they benefit from the schemes provided by the government of Assam.
