Study of women's political participation in a gram panchayat: with special reference to Chowdoor Gram Panchayat, Mahabubnagar District, Telangana State

Abstract

This research aims to examine the degree to which women participate in panchayats' operation and voting process. 100 women from Telangana's Mahabubnagar District's Chowdoor Gram Panchayat in Nawabpet Mandal participated in the research in March 2022. The study found that women's political engagement in the Panchayat election process was adequate. Still, women lack interest in politics when it comes to assembly and parliamentary elections. Women's backwardness is due mainly to a male-dominated society, culture, and a lack of education.
