  • The 73rd and 74th Constitutional Amendment provided reservation of 33% seats for women in local self governing institutions. 
  • This reservation has been increased to 50% in Maharashtra and many other states. 
  • One-third seats and the offices (posts) of Sarpanch, Mayor, etc. are reserved for women. Several policies have been adopted to remove illiteracy among women and to make available opportunities for their development. 
  • A bill is tabled in the house to reserve 50% seats in Legislative Assembly and Parliament.
