Abstract: Gender equality is a cornerstone of social justice and sustainable development. In India, despite constitutional guarantees and progressive legal frameworks, women continue to face systemic barriers to equality. This article examines the legal provisions aimed at addressing gender inequality, focusing on their evolution and impact. It highlights the role of the Indian Constitution, specially its Fundamental Rights and Directive Principles of State Policy, in fostering gender equality. Additionally, it explores the Viksit Bharat initiatives, a holistic government effort to empower women through enhanced access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities. By analyzing these provisions and programs, the article underscores the importance of a multifaceted approach to achieving gender equality in India.
