Abstract	Women centric approaches in the past believed in the provision of welfare measures as a universal remedy to her longstanding problems. Welfare measures concentrated on the provision of economic benefits treated women as mere recipients rather than participants. This paper evaluates the ideologies that seek to empower women and create an environment that can bring about radical changes in their life. However, the traditional approaches evolving the economic empowerment of women do not go in tandem with the empowerment objectives. However, a paradigm shift was made with the manifold objectives of giving voice with power to the women transforming them as agents of change. This paper narrates various ideologies for the upliftment of women and evaluates their limits from the framework of empowerment. The empowerment approach envisages greater participation of women who have the vision to identify their strategic gender needs and thereby explore opportunities to participate effectively in public life. Her involvement in the grassroots institutions can strengthen their empowerment in social and political realms.
