Abstract
Digital literacy is increasingly recognized as a critical factor in personal and economic empowerment in the modern world. However, in India, a significant gender divide persists in access to and use of digital technologies. This paper explores the state of digital literacy among women in India, examining the socio-cultural, economic, and infrastructural barriers that hinder their participation in the digital landscape. The analysis delves into the role of government policies, non-governmental organizations, and private sector initiatives in addressing this divide. By highlighting successful case studies and identifying gaps in current efforts, this paper aims to propose strategic recommendations for enhancing digital literacy among women. The ultimate goal is to bridge the gender divide, empowering women to fully participate in and contribute to India's digital economy, thereby fostering greater gender equality and social inclusion.
