Discuss India's Five-Year Plans from gender perspectives.

India's Five-Year Plans have played a crucial role in shaping the country’s socio-economic landscape since independence in 1947. These plans are a series of government initiatives aimed at promoting economic growth and addressing social issues. However, the extent to which gender considerations have been integrated into these plans has varied significantly over the decades. Analyzing the Five-Year Plans through a gender-sensitive lens reveals both advancements and gaps in addressing women's issues and gender inequalities.

First and Second Plans (1951-1961 and 1961-1966)

Women were seen predominantly as homemakers, and their roles in the economy were largely unacknowledged.

Gender-sensitive planning was virtually absent, reflecting the societal norms of the time, where women’s primary roles were confined to domestic duties.
