Introduction

IITM, Janakpuri New Delhi

The management of self empowers women to face the present challenges by providing tools and techniques that help to eliminate individual stress.

A sense of community spirit is created that allows for women to face these similar challenges as a team rather than individually.

It encourages women to find practical solutions to their challenges so that each one becomes self-dependent in their own right.

Management Of Self


Know yourself - Physically, emotionally, psychologically, intellectually in order to effectively explore, experience and express your own actions toward the achievement of objectives i.e. goal setting, decision making, focusing, self development, etc.

Women - Know Thy Self’ for decision making


The true self is difficult to discover but must be discovered in order to attain unconditional true happiness and success.

Understanding and knowing own self depends on past experiences, evaluation and their reinforcement both physically and mentally. This further generates energy and power.

The experience of energy creates power of mind, body and the soul. The power of mind can create clarity of thoughts and objectives where as power of body gives strength.

A woman is like a tea bag – you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water.”– Eleanor Roosevelt

Success in a mission is proportionate to the energy employed for the same which varies according to the time devoted for the purpose.

The concept of empowerment flows from the power. It is vesting where it does not exist or exist inadequately.

Empowerment of women would mean equipping women to be economically independent, self-reliant, have positive esteem to enable them to face any difficult situation and they should be able to participate in development activities.

The empowered women should be able to participate in the process of decision making. This process needs positive attributes.

Empowerment of women in India
