The Uttarakhand government has drafted a Women Policy that will provide reservations for women in the private sector and establish a special committee for their welfare and safety. During a meeting on Tuesday, Minister of Women Empowerment and Child Development Rekha Arya directed officials of the concerned departments to implement necessary measures under this new policy.
The policy aims to empower women in the areas of education, health, employment, self-employment, safety, and economic security. Additionally, all 60 state departments will allocate special budgets for women’s welfare. The meeting was attended by Secretary of the Women Empowerment Department Chandresh Kumar, Director Prashant Arya, Women’s Commission Chairperson Kusum Kandwal, CPO Mohit Chaudhary, and other officials.

Special provisions have also been made to support women entrepreneurs in the hill, plains, and rural areas. A single-window facility will be provided to assist them with patents and marketing for self-employment ventures. Under the new policy, any organization employing women will be required to establish a grievance redressal committee, even if only one woman is employed. A high-level committee will oversee the operations of these grievance committees to ensure compliance.
