Reservation has not only inducted these deprived groups to enter into the ruling segment, but has ensured them a life of dignity. They are gradually developing leadership capabilities which will ensure a bright future for the SCs, STs, OBCs and women. With the implementation of 73rd Constitutional Amendment, women are actively participating in the meetings of Panchayati Raj bodies and their views are given due significance in the policymaking process aimed at development of their villages. Women are coming out of their houses, canvassing for elections, asking for votes in their favour.
