The study examines the impact of government initiatives on gender inequality within the Gujjar community of Kalakote Tehsil in Rajouri District. Through a survey of 300 respondents, it evaluates the effectiveness of policies designed to empower women in key areas such as education, healthcare, and economic opportunities. The findings indicate that, while there is a high awareness
of programs like Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao, their perceived effectiveness is limited, primarily due to entrenched cultural norms and economic dependence that restrict women’s access to resources. Statistical analysis reveals varying perceptions based on age and residential location, with rural respondents reporting a stronger impact of these programs compared to their urban counterparts. The study suggests that policies tailored to the cultural context, along with vocational training and financial literacy initiatives, could more effectively address the needs of Gujjar women, promoting their economic independence and greater community acceptance.women, fostering economic independence and community acceptance
