Abstract

Women power enrichment per se is humanly a herculean task as so many factors are involved in it. It requires a detailed study of the various prerequisites and methodology that can work in the civil society. However, one of the many factors of women empowerment is the communication input. This study was conducted to find out the access, reach and use of communication by women of two districts in Karnataka i.e. Afzalpur, an underdeveloped district and Davangere, a developed district. The results were compared to project the dichotomy between the two in the communication output for empowering women.
