The Indian Parliament had passed a Women’s Reservation Bill, known as Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, reserving one-third of seats in the lower house of parliament and state assemblies for women. It is the seventh attempt since 1996 to get the women's reservation bill passed. But the bill is facing a prolonged and uncertain implementation process, and the time frame for its implementation. This will address the concerns of women empowerment and gender bias in politics, national policy formulation and governance. The government has stated that the bill will be implemented after a delimitation exercise based on the census, which will be conducted next year. In the current draft of the bill, it is written that it will be implemented only after decade's census and delimitation. This means, Modi government has probably closed the doors of women's reservation till 2029. Whether BJP wants to use it has poll gimmick? But there is a question mark on when this will be implemented.
