The Impact

Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) brings ample opportunities for the comprehensive social and economic development of the people of the whole world. The chance for countries or regions to develop without the adaption of ICTs will be little. Therefore, the ICTs have been increasingly promoted as a key solution for comprehensive development, poverty elimination and the women empowerment and can be used to eliminate discrimination, establish social justice, achieve equality, well-being and participation in decisions and policy formations that impact the quality of their lives. ICTs are emerging as a vital means for women empowerment in a developing country like India. It has proven to be a powerful tool for enhancement of one’s productivity and hence economic upliftment, reduction of manual efforts, high living standard, and above all, quick and fast alignment with the developments in the rest of the world. Women empowerment is an important concept in the present day context. In a democratic country active participation of people in the polity is a must to make the democratic government successful. It has been observed that women have been deprived in all concern of their life in the world in general and in India is Particular. But a country can’t achieve its desired goals without depriving its half of the population, the women community. In our paper we will try examine the impact of ICTs on the empowerment of women in the rural areas of Assam, specially the women of Sonitpur district, Assam, India. To make our research successful, we have considered 40 women as sample considering 10 each from House wife, Girl Students, Service women and Wage Earner women of the district. A questionnaire will be prepared for data collection. Simple random sampling method will be adopted in selecting samples for our research.

UNDP’s 2030 agenda of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) emphasized gender equality in augmenting human capital and alleviating poverty. For eradication of extreme poverty and building resilience for persons who are vulnerable to poverty, SDGs calls for a pro-poor and gender-sensitive policy framework. In this context, a gender-based study on multi-dimensional aspects of poverty is highly significant. Extant literature reveals that females are more deprived in different dimensions of poverty such as education, health, living standard, empowerment, environment, autonomy and social relationship. The present study is conducted with the basic objective of examining feminization of poverty in rural areas of Jagatsinghapur district of Odisha. Seven socio-economic dimensions comprising sixteen indicators have been taken into consideration to construct the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) using the Alkire-Foster (AF) Method at the individual level. The novelty of the study lies in analyzing MPI at the individual level for rural Odisha. Higher female deprivation is observed across social groups and all occupation categories except services. Dummy variable regression analysis also supports the major findings of the study. Complementary Cumulative Distribution Function satisfies strict first-order stochastic dominance condition and substantiates the feminisation of poverty at each level of poverty cut-off across all social groups and occupational categories except for services. The findings of the study have significant implications for developing suitable policies for gender equalization and poverty alleviation.
