Abstract
Women have always been an integral part of human development. The women participate in the inclusive growth of a country. Women empowerment is the multi-dimensional process of the development of the economic, social, and political position of women. It is also the way to safeguard them against all types of cruelty. As information and communication technology (ICT) is widely accepted as a key force for growth and empowerment and it shares a good proportion to the growth and development of the nation, ICT played a crucial role in providing a platform to improve skills, knowledge sharing, and training. The interest in the area of ICT is increasing to foster women's empowerment. ICT tools have facilitated women to discover, explore, interchange, analyze, and present information without any prejudice. ICTs are playing a crucial role in creating more economic and social welfare in India. This chapter discusses how women in India are influenced by ICT to achieve inclusive growth and empowerment.
