WOMEN’S CONTRIBUTION AMID INDUSTRIAL DISRUPTION THROUGH AMBEDKAR’S LENS
- Abstract
Dr. Ambedkar’s life was full of struggles to achieve human rights, especially for women. He was not viewing women solely as an economic resource, but also recognized the crucial link between economic empowerment and overall societal progress, advocating for women's equal rights, including access to education, to achieve a more just and equitable society. He has always been a believer in women’s organization. He had a strong belief that women can improve the condition of society. In the eradication of social evils women have rendered great services” (Kumar 217). The study encompasses the women's contribution in economic activities during a period of industrial disruption created due to suspension of NTC Mills in Maharashtra. The study uses primary as well as secondary data. The primary data is collected through interview schedule from workers and the womens of the households. The womens include wives, daughters and mothers of the workers. A Sample of a hundred women has been collected. The hypothesis has been proved with the help of paired t tests. The findings of the paper shows that womens’ contribution has been very high in the families income during the suspension period. Looking into the educational levels of the women, the contributions could have been much higher if the woman would have been more educated as compared to the present educational levels. Hence following Ambedkars’ perspective on women's education, there is a serious need to chalk out policies which could reach out to the downtrodden society especially the under privileged women
