Abstract

Women who comprise half of humanity play a major role in the development of a society yet basic gender based disadvantages prevail all over the world. Hence it is important to make special efforts to empower women, especially through the planning process. Gender Planning frameworks have been implemented in the rest of the world. The objective of gender planning is achievement of gender equity, equality and empowerment through practical and strategic gender needs. Given the importance of women as ends and not just means in the process of development, the paper seeks to find how womens needs have been incorporated in Indian Planning.

It has since been dissolved with NITI Aayog replacing it.The approach towards women in India, in planning remain Gender Aware Planning and not Gender Planning.
