The socio-economic development of a nation has an integral relation with the status of women in its society. The justification of the claim will be found if we go through the past history of development around the world. It would be found that those countries had taken sincere and effective initiative to empowering women attained an inclusive growth and the progresses of those countries in all verticals of civilization are much stable. After independence, in spite of taking several measures, India is still lagging far behind comparing to developed nations in the question of women empowerment. Till today a significant percentage of girls in India do not have elementary education. Study reveals that the tendency of dropout from school and the prevalence of child marriages are the primary factors which restrict women basic literacy in India. The state of West Bengal is no exception of it. The state since last three decades has performed worse in question of prevention of girl child marriage, expansion of elementary education among girls specially in backward community and some other aspects relevant to women empowerment in comparison to some states in India. Lack of women empowerment also drags the state down in the ranking of economic development in national level. The newly elected government realizing this lacuna introduces Kanyashree Prakalpa in the year 2013. The implementation of this social welfare scheme not only ensures the basic literacy to all girls in the state, it would also be an effective tool to attain the inclusive growth through sustainable development. | | Keywords : | | - Kanyashree Prakalpa,Kanyashree Prakalpa,Kanyashree Prakalpa,Kanyashree Prakalpa,
