Abstract:
Women play a key role in the growth and development of a nation. In India, women represent close to half the total population and human resources of the country. If such a large proportion of the population is not well utilized it can prove to be a big impediment in the progress of the nation. The paper examines the current status of Women representation in Corporate Boards of BSE listed Companies in India. Additionally, it seeks to examine the status of women workforce participation in India and underlying causes for low participation of women in workforce in India. It further builds the linkage between low workforce participation of women and low representation of women in boards of BSE listed companies in India.
