The summary concludes by outlining numerous approaches and chances to improve women's economic empowerment in India. It highlights the significance of implementing policy changes that encourage gender equality, increase women's access to formal finance and markets, improve education and skill development opportunities, create supportive business settings, and dispel gender stereotypes.
