Newdelhi:14/3/24:The Gender Inequality Index 2022 was released on the 13th of March 2024 by UNDP in their Human Development Report 2023/2024.

On the Gender Inequality Index (GII) 2022, India stands at rank 108 out of 193 countries with a score of 0.437. India stood at rank 122 out of 191 countries with a score of 0.490 in the Gender Inequality Index 2021.

This shows a significant jump of 14 ranks on GII 2022 vis-à-vis GII 2021.

Over the last 10 years, India’s rank in GII has become consistently better, indicating progressive improvement in achieving gender equality in the country. In 2014, this rank was 127, which now has become 108.

This is an outcome of the decisive agenda set by the Government for ensuring women’s empowerment through policy initiatives aimed at their long-term socio-economic and political development. Government initiatives have spanned across women’s lifecycles including large-scale initiatives for girls’ education, skill development, entrepreneurship facilitation, and safety in the workplace. Policies and legislations in these areas have been driving the Government’s ‘women-led development’ agenda.
