As a result, the governments of different countries have placed a strong emphasis on women's empowerment. Since women constitute half of the population, their potential to significantly contribute to national development cannot be overlooked. India has adopted the Bangladesh model of Self-help Groups (SHGs), and it’s prominently operating in different parts of India, including the Northeastern states. <br>The core principle of Self-Help Groups (SHGs) is to empower women by enhancing their skills, promoting sustainable income generation, and providing access to microcredit, yet in the state's patriarchal structure, the condition of women remains similar to that in the rest of the country, and Arunachal is no different. Women's concerns on various issues affecting them and society as a whole have not received adequate attention. At present, only 5 out of 60 seats in the State Legislative Assembly of Arunachal are held by women, making up a very low 5% representation in state politics. Furthermore, it is widely recognized that the first step to empowering women is economic independence, which will eventually lead to social and political empowerment, which is missing in this situation. This paper will attempt to examine the contribution of SHGs in bridging the gap of gender inequalities in rural areas of Arunachal Pradesh.</p> Debia Yoyum Tabang Mibang Copyright (c) 2026 Debia Yoyum, Tabang Mibang https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2026-04-22 2026-04-22 14 4 1 5 10.29121/granthaalayah.v14.i4.2026.6851 https://www.granthaalayahpublication.org/journals/granthaalayah/article/view/6862 <p>The present study aims to examine the necessary components of the 21st Century Skills framework within the context of NEP 2020 by probing its alignment with major global frameworks of 21st century skills. For this the study employed a methodology of a systematic analysis of policy documents and related literature establishing a comparative and comprehensive picture among the 21st century skills frameworks of ATC21S, OECD (2009), P21, and NEP 2020. A comparative table of identifying and giving “emphasis” on the skills from the different frameworks using a four-point scale (4 = Very High, 3 = High and 2 = Moderate emphasis) has been done. The findings show that the 21st Century Skills highlighted in NEP 2020 exhibit a strong alignment with the P21 framework. However, NEP 2020 distinguishes itself by placing a significantly greater emphasis on moral and ethical dimensions of education, extending beyond the scope of P21 and other international frameworks.</p> Paonam Suhela Devi Neha Rawat Copyright (c) 2026 Paonam Suhela Devi, Dr. Neha Rawat https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2026-04-22 2026-04-22 14 4 6 10 10.29121/granthaalayah.v14.i4.2026.6862
