Answer:

the measures taken to empower women after independence​ are :

* The Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005 is a landmark in the way to women empowerment . The Act removes gender discriminatory provisions in the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 and gives equal rights in inheritance to daughters. This means daughter has the same right over the property as a son. The act states that daughters will have the same rights as sons to reside in or seek partition of the family house. Economically, it can improve women's security by giving them birth right in property. All this shows that daughters and sons are equally important members of the family.

* Mahila E-haat : A direct online marketing platform launched by the Ministry of Women and Child Development, this scheme is made to support women entrepreneurs.

* Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao : The name Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao translates to 'Save the girl child, educate the girl child'. The scheme aims to educate citizens against gender bias and improve efficacy of welfare services for girls. It was launched with an initial funding of Rs. 100 crore (US$ 13.5 million).

* One Stop Centre Scheme : One Stop Centres (OSCs) are intended to support women affected by violence, in private and public spaces, within the family, community and at the workplace.

* Swadhar Greh : The Ministry of Women and Child Development is implementing the Swadhar Greh Scheme for rehabilitation of women in difficult circumstances. The scheme covers women who are deserted and without any social and economic support, women victims of domestic violence, family tension and natural disaster.

* Nari Shakti Puruskars : Nari Shakti Puraskar is an annual award given by the Ministry of Women and Child Development of the Government of India to individual women or to institutions that work towards the cause of women empowerment.
