Abstract
The current world population in 2014 estimated is about 7,175,186,584 (7 billion people) where there is about 3610470 males over 3551649 females and the sex ratio is approximately 102 males per 100 females. Violence against women is quite common in whole world and very intense in India due to patriarchal nature of our society and so other many reasons such as dowry, domestic violence, rape etc. The position of the Scheduled Tribe women as a marginalized section is much pitiable than others. In this concern MGNREGA seems to be an essential tool to empower the women especially the Scheduled Tribe’s women because 1/3rd place is reserved for women under MGNREGA. However, the decision of women for participation in MGNREGA is restricts by several factors. Here, we will try to evaluate various factors responsible for violence against the Scheduled Tribe’s women and the effectiveness of MGNREGA for the socio-economic upliftment of Scheduled Tribe’s women.
