Detailed Solution

In 2009 the percentage of elected women members in Lok Sabha had crossed 10 per cent of its total strength for the first time. The level of women's political participation in India is far below average. The House of People, or Lok Sabha, has a reservation that is less than 10% in this situation. Less than 5% of the seats in the State Assemblies are reserved for women, while women fill less than 10% of the seats in the Central Legislature. Women now have a 33 per cent reservation in the Parliament and State Legislative Bodies, according to a measure approved by the Rajya Sabha in March 2010. Many movements were developed to include women in politics and grant them rights, including the 1925-founded National Council of Women in India.
