Abstract

Women's role in beautifying the world enriching the earth and soothing the society in all laudable indeed. But the status of women is inferior to men in social economic and political sphere. The position of women in Haryana is no better than their counter parts in rest of the country. In all aspects the grimmer situation of women welfare, in India, has encouraged this empirical study on administration of women welfare schemes Haryana especially in the Distt. Yamuna Nagar. Kishori Shakti Yojna (KSY) is a means to empower adolescent girls, so as to enable them to take charge of their lives. The Ladli scheme is to raise the status of the girl child in the family and in the society and to change the mindsets of the people for proper rearing of the girl children and providing them the right to birth and the right to survival. For the purpose of the present paper only two schemes were selected i.e. Kishori Shakti Yojana and Ladli was as these two are most popular schemes. The primary data has been collected with the help of questionnaire which was administrated to the beneficiaries of women welfare schemes. For the purpose of study. List of beneficiaries of KSY and Ladli schemes executed for the welfare of women was obtained from Department of Welfare at District level. 20 respondents from beneficiaries of KSY and 20 respondents from beneficiaries of Ladli were selected for this study on the basis of random sampling. The data collected through the questionnaire has been analysed which has further been depicted in various tables. It has been noticed during the study that implementation of these welfare schemes is also defective. Majority of the respondents felt that there was corruption, political interference and delay in sanctioning of amount and distribution of commodities and this corruption and delay was caused by inadvertent manners of the officials. Procedure to avail various benefits available under welfare schemes is very complex and lengthy.
