'''Bibipur Model of Women Empowerment and Village Development,''' commonly known as the '''Bibipur Model''', is a program aimed at promoting gender equality and enhancing the socio-economic conditions of women in rural [[India]].

It was introduced by [[Sunil Jaglan]], a former [[sarpanch]] of [[Bibipur]] village in 2016, and gained national recognition when it was adopted in 2017 by the former President of India [[Pranab Mukherjee]] for implementation in 100 villages across [[Haryana]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bajwa |first=Harpreet |date=2023-03-03 |title=Daughters spell magic: Haryana man on mission to empower women |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/good-news/2023/Mar/19/daughters-spell-magic-haryana-man-on-mission-toempower-women-2557330.html |access-date=2025-01-13 |website=The New Indian Express |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |title=Women shun veils, take centre stage in village |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/gurgaon/women-shun-veils-take-centre-stage-in-village/articleshow/64725136.cms |access-date=2025-01-13 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=2022-04-07 |title=बेटियों के नाम से मिली घरों को पहचान: अयोध्या का पलिया लोहानी बना यूपी का पहला बीबीपुर मॉडल गांव; लड़कियां बोलीं- यह मेडल जीतने के जैसा एक्सपीरियंस |url=https://www.bhaskar.com/local/uttar-pradesh/ayodhya/news/palia-lohani-became-the-first-bibipur-model-village-of-up-international-campaign-fame-sunil-awakened-129625528.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220419181019/https://www.bhaskar.com/amp/local/uttar-pradesh/ayodhya/news/palia-lohani-became-the-first-bibipur-model-village-of-up-international-campaign-fame-sunil-awakened-129625528.html |archive-date=April 19, 2022 |access-date=2025-01-13 |work=Dainik Bhaskar |language=hi |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=200 साल में पहली बार चढ़ीं चौपाल पर |url=https://navbharattimes.indiatimes.com/metro/mumbai/other-news/chopped-for-the-first-time-in-200-years/articleshow/62087393.cms |access-date=2025-01-14 |website=Navbharat Times |language=hi}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=2017-11-12 |title=Now, 'library for women' opened in Jind village |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/jind/now-library-for-women-opened-in-jind-village/articleshow/61612440.cms |access-date=2025-01-14 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257}}</ref>

== Area of work ==
The model aims to empower women by encouraging them to participate in decision-making and governance. It seeks to develop villages by addressing issues like [[female foeticide]], [[education]], [[health]], and [[Right to property|property rights]]. The model also aims to fight [[gender bias]] by encouraging women to attend meetings and speak up about their concerns, and works to ban abusive slurs against women by encouraging open discussions in the [[gram sabha]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |date=2017-05-23 |title=Haryana: Bibipur model of women empowerment to be introduced in 100 villages adopted by President |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/india/haryana-bibipur-model-to-be-introduced-in-100-villages-adopted-by-president-4669140/lite/ |access-date=2025-01-13 |website=The Indian Express |language=en}}</ref>
