Abstract

Public participation is considered one of the most popular initiatives in the process of any regional development. The empowerment of women with respect to different laws, legislation, and schemes is considered an important concern of the 21st century in a developing country, like India. While focusing on socio-economic development with women's empowerment, the promotion of ICT in women's participation is still very limited. In public participation towards women empowerment in Kerala, a government initiative project, Kudumbashree, has been adopted for the analysis of this research to tackle spatial divides and socio-economic inequalities in the research area, whereas the stakeholder (women) shows limited information towards participation, which could be a challenge. Therefore, this chapter, emphasizes the contribution of ICT as an effective tool for public participation in women's empowerment in Kerala. It is used to critically analyze and discuss the importance of ICT in women's participation for their empowerment in the process of development of the region.
