Abstract	In today's technologically advanced society, digital literacy is essential for empowering women since it grants them access to social inclusion, work, education, and financial independence. However, there is still a sizable digital gender gap, especially in developing nations like India where women's access to the internet is restricted, their ability to use technology is hampered by financial limitations, social norms, and a lack of digital training. This research explores the impact of digital literacy on women’s empowerment, examining key barriers that prevent women from acquiring digital skills and evaluating successful initiatives such as PMGDISHA, Digital Saksharta Abhiyan (DISHA), and Internet Saathi. Through case studies and policy analysis, the study highlights effective strategies to overcome these challenges, including government-led programs, corporate interventions, financial support mechanisms, and cybersecurity reforms. The findings emphasize that sustainable digital literacy growth requires policy-driven solutions, greater investment in digital education, enhanced internet infrastructure, and stronger legal protections. In order to promote more gender equality and the economic growth of the country, India can open up new doors for women in leadership, business, and education by bridging the digital gender barrier. This study supports a multi-stakeholder strategy that includes public and corporate sectors as well as community organisations in order to build a digitally inclusive society that enables women to prosper in the global digital economy.
Keywords	Digital literacy, women's empowerment, digital gender divide, technology access, education and employment, financial independence, societal barriers, government initiatives, corporate interventions, cybersecurity reforms, sustainable digital growth, internet infrastructure, policy-driven solutions, e-governance, and digital inclusion.
