Women’s Participation in Indian Mining and Corporate Sectors Shows Progress Amid Leadership Gaps
Mining and corporate sectors in India are witnessing gradual shifts toward greater gender inclusion, though challenges remain. The 2019 amendment to the Mines Act lifted restrictions on women working underground, enabling pioneers like Sandhya Rasakatla to break barriers. Despite increased female participation in education and workforce entry, women hold a small share of leadership roles, with growth in employment not matched by proportional inclusion at senior levels. Experts highlight the need for deliberate policies and cultural change to address persistent gender gaps in leadership.
