In pre-independence India, education among women was slow and limited to upper strata of society it tremendously increased in independent India. Surprisingly, the empowerment of women is one of the central issues in the process of development of countries all over the world, not just India. Empowerment of women can help improve women's position in society. Many studies have shown that majority of people who participate in voluntary community work are women and their awareness, attitude, skill, capacity and sensitivity to environment makes them responsible to take action to resolve environmental problems. There are many challenges that face NGOs who make it their goal to empower women. This study has been carried out to understand the level of empowerment of women of the selected NGOs of selected states of India.
