‘Mission Shakti’, an Integrated Women Empowerment Programme, is the Umbrella Scheme for the Safety, Security and Empowerment of Women of the Government of India for implementation during the 15th Finance Commission period from 2021-22 to 2025-26. It aims at strengthening interventions for safety, security and empowerment of women in a mission mode through convergence and institutional mechanism.

Mission Shakti seeks to realise the Government’s vision for ‘women-led development’ by addressing issues affecting women across the life-cycle continuum, while making them equal partners in nation-building through convergence across Ministries/ Departments and different levels of governance, greater participation and support of panchayati raj institutions and other local self governance bodies and Jan Sahabhagita, while also strengthening digital infrastructure for last mile tracking of service delivery.
