Among the 18 indicators of women empowerment, sex ratio is the 1st and most important indicator for social empowerment of women. Although the census 2001 has registered marginal improvement in the overall sex ratio from 927 female per 1000 male in 1991 to 933 females in 2001, the sex ratio in the age group 0-6 has sharply declined from 945 in 1991 to 927 in 2001 | | Keywords : | | |
