15-Point Programme

The 15-Point Programme is a set of policies introduced by the Indian government in 1990 to improve the status of women. It aims to promote gender equality by addressing issues like education, healthcare, employment, and safety. Key aspects include encouraging education for girls, preventing domestic violence, ensuring equal employment opportunities, and protecting women’s rights. The programme emphasizes creating a supportive environment where women can participate fully in social, economic, and political life, ultimately fostering a society based on equality and respect for women’s dignity.
