Gender disparity in developing rural areas an evaluative study with special reference to kuhuboto rd block, dimapur, Nagaland

Abstract: 

To live with dignity at all times is the fundamental right of all human beings. Development is a human-centred process where people are the both the ends and means. Participation of all people in building their society is a prerequisite for development and so the privilege to enjoy the benefits for the common effort should be given to all. Development is both qualitative and quantitative in nature, in fact it a multidimensional process that entails social, economic, political, material, legal, administrative, psychological, and cultural values on which the full development of human behaviour and self-respect of man in the society depends. Many have defined development based on their own views and understanding. It is viewed as an essential process craved by all. Therefore to understand development one should see it from several angles. Gender equality and development of women are recognised globally as the key elements to achieve progress in all areas as women represent half the human resources and half the potential in all the societies. Efforts to promote equality between men and women can contribute to the overall development of the human society and the nation’s progress.
