Women empowerment has become a buzzword in India. The last decade witnessed very active and multifaceted efforts in various national and international forums for achieving principles of equality, sustainability and empowerment with a special focus on women. In Indian context, the concern for women’s empowerment was very visible in the thoughts and writings of social reformers of the 19th and 20th centuries. This legacy was once again reemphasized by our constitutional framers which later on was translated by the government into policies, initiatives, schemes and programs for promoting women empowerment. Nowadays our government is trying to give special attention to the participation of women in society and to their education, socio-economic and political awareness. In spite of these efforts, Indian women are not fully empowered. To conduct the present study, Descriptive Survey method was employed. Adolescent Girl’s Empowerment scale by Devendra Singh and Alpana singh (2011) was used to assess this empowerment and t-value was used as stastical technique. Significant difference was found between the groups on the basis of type of school and locality.
