"After independence, India has made significant progress in the employment of women and several policy decisions have been taken to strengthen the status of women. Though governmental efforts are praiseworthy the impact accrued to women in general are not very good. Employment opportunities for men and women are not equal. The present study carried out in sixteen ministries is based on primary data collected from the women employees in various categories working for the ministries. It is a study to assess the employment situation of women prevailing in different ministries of the Government of India as well as to derive a picture about the aspirations, satisfaction and motivation with regard to employment situation."
