Abstract Empowerment of tribal women is critical for inclusive development of tribal communities. This study aims to analyze the contribution of rural development programs in empowering tribal women in Dhalbhumgarh, Jharkhand. The research involved a survey of 200 tribal women beneficiaries of programs, focused group discussions, and interviews with stakeholders. The study assessed the impact on social, economic, and political empowerment parameters. Key findings show limited outreach and utilization of programs by tribal women. The programs have moderately improved education, health, and livelihoods. However, impact on reducing gender disparities, improving participation in governance, and addressing systemic discrimination is inadequate. Patriarchal norms, lack of awareness and mobility, poor program quality and targeting are key challenges. The study recommends redesigning programs to suit local context, greater investment, participatory planning, and sensitization of tribal communities to achieve holistic empowerment.
