A safe domain of autonomous decision-making power and descendant accountability of local governments is an institutional set-up for developing social equity and efficiency. Through political participation, individuals empower themselves in decision-making and policy strengthening their needs. The inclusion of women and minorities in political participation in the political progression has become an important factor for proper social equity, enabling them to identify their problems and negotiate a healthier solution to certain issues. After 1993, at the grassroots level, the number of women’s political participation increased due to the implementation of the 73rd Amendment bill, which was intended to bring a reckonable change and qualitative good governance.
