Abstract

"Nagaland is a state where 48.21% of the total populations are women. Naga society is a patriarchal society and it is believed that women must be respected but Naga society clearly distinguishes gender roles and gender responsibilities. Naga women are in charge of domestic issues such as family while men deal with society and village councils and administration. Women are excluded from the decision making and inheritance of land whether it’s ancestral or self equipped land.

The study highlights the status of Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (BBBP) and Mahila Shakti Kendra (MSK) and achievement of this two schemes in Nagaland."
