This 1974 document is said to lay the foundation of women's movement in independent [[India]], highlighting [[Discrimination|discriminatory]] socio-cultural practices, political and economic processes. The findings of the report reopened the women's question for government, academia and women's organisation.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Efv3V7Y9WzsC&q=Cswi+report&pg=PA11|title=Writing the Women's Movement: A Reader|last=Khullar|first=Mala|date=2005|publisher=Zubaan|isbn=9788186706992|language=en}}</ref> Its authors included [[Vina Mazumdar]] and Lotika Sarkar,<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-opinion/rolling-stone-who-anchored-the-womens-movement/article4767659.ece|title=Rolling stone who anchored the women's movement|last1=Butalia|first1=Urvashi|date=2013-05-31|work=The Hindu|access-date=2018-06-24|last2=Butalia|first2=Urvashi|language=en-IN|issn=0971-751X}}</ref> who later founded the [[Centre for Women's Development Studies|Centre for Women’s Development Studies]] in [[Delhi]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.cwds.ac.in/|title=Centre for Women's Development Studies – An autonomous research institute supported by the Indian Council of Social Science Research|website=www.cwds.ac.in|language=en-US|access-date=2018-06-24}}</ref>

The report proved to be an "eye opener" women's condition by talking about development and democracy from [[gender]] perspective. It brought to the forefront the issues of declining sex ratio ([[Missing women of Asia|missing women]]).<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Chakraborty|first=Sanchayita Paul|title=WOMEN AND DEVELOPMENT: REVISITING THE TOWARDS EQUALITY REPORT|url=https://www.academia.edu/17461498|language=en}}</ref> It led to women-sensitive policy-making in India and stress on girls' education.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ix4hkaFhgsEC&q=Cswi+report&pg=PA267|title=Institutions, Relations, and Outcomes: A Framework and Case Studies for Gender-aware Planning|last=(Organization)|first=Kali for Women|date=1999|publisher=Zubaan|isbn=9788185107981|language=en}}
