India has long grappled with issues related to women&#8217;s participation in the workforce. Traditionally, social and cultural norms restricted women&#8217;s roles to homemakers.

These measures have started to yield positive results, as indicated by the 37% increase in women&#8217;s workforce participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span
