Women constitute half of the population of the world. Women are politically marginalized world over. There are various social, economical, cultural factors which work as constraints in women’s participation in political domain. There is a need to make special provisions to include women in the democratic governance at different levels. India has taken the initiative to make a special provision for the reservation for women at the local self-government institutions. What was the journey of women in achieving today’s status is the subject of this paper. The paper talks about women’s role in freedom struggle, reservation under Panchayati Raj system through 73rd Amendment Act and capacity building programmes and other initiatives by the government. The paper also discusses the impact of this amendment act on the status of women in local level politics, their role in governance and the consequent socio-economic, political empowerment.
