Women and girls constituting half of the planet’s population. Irrespective of the nature and form of society, women have always been its integral and inseparable part but they have been suppressed, oppressed, and treated as subordinates and not equal to their male counterparts in different fields of activity. In almost all respects they are the largest excluded category. Gender equality refers to the equal rights, responsibilities and opportunities of women and men as well as boys and girls whereas gender equity refers to fairness of treatment for women and men, according to their respective needs which is considered equivalent in terms of rights, benefits, obligations and opportunities. Equity leads to equality. In present scenario we need gender equity rather than gender equality. According to the Global Gender Gap Report released by the World Economic Forum (WEF) in 2011, India was ranked 113 on the Gender Gap Index (GGI) among 135 countries. The Human Development Report (1995) reveals statistical data of women all around the world that women have only 1/10^th of the global income. They own 1/100^th of the means of production. Nearly 70 percent of the women live below the poverty line and do not participate in any discussion making process either po9litical, social or economic perspective. For gender equity in India, women or girls must get online. The constitution not only grants equality to women, but also empowers the state to adopt measures of positive discrimination in favour of women to ensure equity. In this present paper researcher try to highlight the social reflection of gender equity in the present scenario in India.
