Abstract The present study on “Political Empowerment of Women in Gram Panchayat– A Study of Cooch Behar District of West Bengal, India” is an attempt to analyse the present position of participation of women in Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) and how political empowerment correlated with economic and social empowerment. The PRIs introduced proper representation and proper participation from all marginalized section of society, specially the participation of women who are belonging to weaker sections of the society because women in Panchayats constitute the basic components of democracy. This democracy achieved complete active participation of women in grassroot level politics which means the reconstruction of India from the below, but the journey of political participation of women is not smooth, they face a various problems in the village Panchayat. The primary objective of the study is to find out different constraints of women empowerment and suggest action formulated measures in this direction. This study finds out whether reservation of seats for women at local level helped them towards empowerment and decision-making capacity. The study indicates that the area is a part of the state of West Bengal and the study here focuses on the issue of women empowerment through political participation in Gram Panchayat level and concentrates in the role and performance of women in Gram Panchayat. It aims at highlighting the participation of women in politics in Gram Panchayat as a tool of their empowerment.
