How can the Indian government ensure gender equality in India?

I believe you all might be aware of gender equality and how it is affecting the development of our country. The question raised here is about the Indian government's role in bringing up gender equality so, I thought to share something related to it.

Gender equality is one of the important aspects affecting the development of our nation. It is all about giving equal opportunities to the individual of every gender in society. The Indian government has passed many legislations and acts to generate awareness about gender equality. But still, there is a gender gap seen in society. Women and LGBT groups are underrepresented in society. People are not ready to accept the change in a male-dominated society. Hence, as a result, according to the global gender gap report, 2016 by the world economic forum, India stands 87^th in the gender gap index amongst 144 countries in the world. India has climbed from 105^th rank to 87^th since 2015.

The government of India has taken many measures concerning educating and empowering women of India to eliminate the gender gap. With this, it was seen that women were allotted a reservation to get a job and education. But at the workplace women are finding problems such as they are underrepresented or over mentored. They have refrained from decision making for their company. It shows that the government is doing everything to eliminate the gender gap in every area of society but, it is the responsibility of an individual to bring change in society by accepting women as their fellow employees.

It is about women's empowerment. The government should also create awareness related to the transgender and LGBT groups, at last, they are also an integral part of society. A fair opportunity should also be given to these communities so that they can live with dignity and confidence in society. Creating equal opportunities for every gender will give rise to a better society.
