The Central University of Kashmir organised an important panel discussion on the Women’s Reservation Bill (Naari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam 2023), focusing on gender equality and justice.

The event brought together academicians, policy experts, researchers, and students to discuss how this law can transform women’s participation in politics and governance. Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel

Focus on Gender Equity and Representation

Vice-Chancellor Prof. A. Ravinder Nath said that while Indian culture has always respected women, this respect has not fully translated into real empowerment.

He explained that the Bill aims to close this gap by ensuring women get proper representation in legislative bodies.

Registrar Dr. Nisar Ahmad Mir added that empowering women can improve society in many ways, including education, economy, and poverty reduction.

Experts Highlight Importance of the Bill

Prof. Vandana Mishra shared that women should not just seek equality but recognise their unique strengths in leadership and decision-making.

She said that greater participation of women in politics can bring positive changes in governance and public policies.

Dr. Sri Devi Y described the Bill as a historic step to correct the low representation of women in Parliament. She noted that women currently hold only around 15% of seats, and a 33% reservation could bring meaningful change.

Historical Perspective

Dr. Salma Khan explained that the idea of women’s reservation dates back to 1996 and took nearly three decades to become reality.

She also pointed out the success of women’s reservation at the grassroots level through Panchayati Raj institutions.

Call for Inclusive Governance

  • Gender-based violence
  • Healthcare access
  • Social justice

Final Note

The panel discussion concluded with a strong message: empowering women in politics is essential for building a fair and inclusive society.

The event reflected the growing academic interest in policies that promote gender equality and meaningful participation of women in decision-making.
