Women’s Reservation Bill, officially the 106th Constitutional Amendment Act, 2023, will now come into effect. It mandates 33 per cent seats for women in Parliament and state assemblies. The bill also includes sub-reservation for women belonging to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes within the quota. The implementation of the law is linked to the next delimitation exercise, which will occur after the first census conducted post-enactment.
With the bill. The government aims to improve women’s political representation in India, where female participation in legislatures has remained low, historically. The bill was first introduced in 1996 and saw multiple failed attempts before finally being passed by both houses of Parliament with broad political support. The law is seen as a significant structural reform in India’s democratic framework solidifying the electoral system of India. India has also become the first nation with a high quota for women in political structure.
