2 The economic wealth of a country is seriously depletedif about half of the nation s human resource is neglected. Recognising the need for involvingwomen in various development activities, the Government of India has initiated severalaffirmative measures by way of programmes and schemes to bring them into the mainstreamof development. These affirmative actions have brought about perceptible changes in thesocio-economic conditions of Women . The literacy rate of females, which was in1951 rose to in 2001. Women s work participation rate, which was in 1981,rose to in 2001. The data base also brings out the areas where the progress hasbeen slow if not retrograde. The sex ratio in the 0-6 years age group dropped from 945 in1991 to 927 in 2001, which indicates that society still does not welcome a girl child and thepreference rests with sons.

3 Nearly 50% Women get married before they attain 18 years ofage, and pregnant Women and married Women suffer from anaemia. Maternalmortality rate (MMR) is still quite high, at 254 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births (in2006). Thus, there is room for much more to be done to ameliorate the plight of Women atthe grass root Eleventh Five-Year Plan aims to achieve inclusive growth and reduce comprehensive picture of Women and Girls in India as revealed through collected statisticswould be a useful reference base to show the progress India has achieved so far.
