Abstract
A large group of working women of India is in the rural and unorganized sector. Majority of Indian women are still confined to the boundary of four walls of the house and are in a disadvantageous position. Due to liberalization, privatization and globalization Indian economy is moving at a very fast pace. Recent advances in Information and technology have opened new employment opportunity both for men and women but it is commonly observed that women are less engaged in ICT sector as compared to men in India. ICT is for everyone and women have to be an equal beneficiary to the advantages offered by the technology and the product and processes which emerged from its use. The benefits accrued from the integration of Knowledge and ICT need not be restricted to the upper strata of the society but should freely flow to all segments of the population including the women.
Key Words: ICT, Women empowerment
