National Commission for Women: Key Functions

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Augments the subject of NCW (#117) with details on its operational activities: conducting research on women’s issues, inspecting custody homes, recommending measures to tackle trafficking, female foeticide, and acid attacks. NCW organizes awareness campaigns, monitors implementation of protective legislation, and engages with NGOs working at the grassroots. It can summon documents, call witnesses, and produce reports for the government’s action. While its recommendations are non-binding, public pressure often prompts legislative or administrative responses. NCW’s success depends on robust collaboration with state machineries, autonomy from political interference, and consistent budgetary support.
