The New Indian Express Kalaburagi
|April 01, 2025
Since its implementation, the state government's Shakti scheme (free travel for women) has become a positive catalyst for women's empowerment and economic contribution, according to a survey.
The survey found that both the female labor force participation rate and female worker participation rate have increased in Karnataka after the implementation of the scheme.
The survey was conducted by the Fiscal Policy Institute (by research fellow Anusha Sangondimath), Fare-Free Public Transit and Women's Economic Participation (Just Job Network) and Shakthi Guarantee Scheme Survey (M2M Media Network) on the initiation taken by Kalyana Karnataka Road Transport Corporation.
The agencies questioned 25,925 persons in 112 Assembly constituencies on various aspects with regard to the scheme from September 20, 2024, to October 15, 2024. The report was made available to Express on Monday.
