Women's Reservation

In 1993, a constitutional amendment was passed in India that called for a random one third of village council leader, or Sarpanch, positions in gram panchayat to be reserved for women.[5]

There is a long-term plan to extend this reservation to parliament and legislative assemblies.[6][7][8]
