The point of empowerment lies in the ability of w women to control her own destiny. In India women have limited access to education, almost half of them are illiterate. In order to women`s empowering they must gain knowledge, profession, and as a result of this independence. Women need to brake with the old tradition " In childhood a female must be subject to her father, in youth to her husband, when her lord is dead to her sons; a woman must never be independent".
