Women comprise half of the global population, yet they face discrimination in various aspects such as birth, education, health, employment rights, and remuneration. In recent years, women's empowerment has gained significant attention in India. Empowerment entails creating an enabling environment where women can make decisions for their own benefit. Financial stability and literacy play a pivotal role in influencing women's choices. This paper aims to explore the relationship between financial inclusion and women's empowerment in India. Specifically, it seeks to (i) examine the objectives and policies implemented by the government under the financial inclusion scheme, (ii) discuss the significance of government policies and various schemes in facilitating financial inclusion, and (iii) evaluate the impact of these policies and schemes in promoting financial literacy and women's empowerment in India.
