Abstract
"Nagaland is a state where 48.21% of the total populations are women. Naga society is a patriarchal society and it is believed that women must be respected but Naga society clearly distinguishes gender roles and gender responsibilities. Naga women are in charge of domestic issues such as family while men deal with society and village councils and administration. Women are excluded from the decision making and inheritance of land whether it’s ancestral or self equipped land. Women centric schemes like BBBP and MSK support women and girl child with education and health, encourage them to be more independent, participate in decision making,gives awareness of different day to day activities and importance of girl child. The study highlights the status of Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (BBBP) and Mahila Shakti Kendra (MSK) and achievement of this two schemes in Nagaland."
