In this context, the peoples perception of working of Panchayati Raj institutions in Karimnagar district plays a very crucial role to reveal the actual ground realities thereof and to what extent they accomplished the above-mentioned objectives. several policy initiatives have been taken for effective implementation of reservation policy in Panchayati Raj in the district.

Since half of the population of Nepal consists of women, it is natural that they should claim their rightful place in the society. Women’s political empowerment is a key component of democracy. Women’s relative status, however, varies from one ethnic group to another. Madheshi women are known to be more socially, politically, and economically oppressed than their Nepali sisters of other ethnic backgrounds.Ensuring participation at the grassroots level alone is not adequate for empowerment of women. Madheshi women have participated widely in political movements but after that theyare relegated again to the domestic arena and drowned women’s voices. So attaining positive role in national building, there should be identity, social inclusion, capacity enhancement which is the important prerequisites for a vibrant democracy and overall development of the country. This paper discussed on the situation of political awareness among Madheshi women of Parsa district. The primary data has used by the author in this research article.Academic Voices, Vol. 3, No. 1, 2013, Pages 68-75 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/av.v3i1.9992
