Policy Brief
Infrastructure
This policy brief aims at incorporating a gender-sensitive analysis within the framework of public policy, especially a Centrally Sponsored Scheme (CSS) like Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) that has an encompassing impact. This policy brief emphasizes that physical infrastructure determines, to a large extent, access to opportunities, knowledge and information thus manifesting itself as a tool for policy makers to bridge the wide gap that plagues the societal structure with gender disparities.
