[1] Introduction ::
In India presently we have semi urban as well as rural areas. It is in rural India that a vital and vast potential of talent and also unbeatable untapped innovative and intellectual energy lies. If this group of people is not empowered, the nation as a whole cannot flourish and develop. With the focus of developing this human force, since women stand at the fore front of the most activities of rural lives the most impactful intervention was to initiative active participation of women in the decision making policies. The rural development initiative of Navjyoti India Foundation saw the light of the day with women’s panchayat at bhandsi in 1996. But that was just the beginning of a dream lived well that continues to grow from strength to strength every day. At present Navjyoti‘s scope of work span across 30 villages in Sohna block.

Contribution to the central exchequer during the year 2011-12 public sector contributed Rs.1, 60,801 Crore.
Public sector slowly is moving towards management by objectives and not management by control with the objective to bring balance between autonomy and accountability i.e. to adopt the policy to reduce quantity of control and increase quality of accountability and undertake social responsibility. In doing so these units with a few reforms should become market oriented. Public sector has made a good case for diversified industrial base. It has provided an organized sector employment. The situation towards profit making unit in the period 2002-03 to 2008-09, the number of CPEs increases from 119 to 158 and the profit rose from Rs.43316 Crore to Rs.98652 Crore. If political pressures are not put the central government public sectors would get more independent autonomy for taking and implementing decision. This would support themselves as well it would prove to be more useful to the public sector growth in general.
