Detailed Solution

India has the lowest proportion of females in the legislature. In India, the proportion of women candidates in the central or state legislature has been deficient. For example, the percentage of elected women members in the Lower house has touched 14.36 per cent of its total number for the first time in 2019. Their percentage in the state assemblies is less than five per cent. In this respect, India is among the bottom-line group of countries in the world. India is behind the averages for several developing countries in Africa and Latin America. One way to deal with this is to set boundaries. It is about having the correct proportion of women in elected bodies. Like Panchayati Raj did in India. 33% of seats in state-owned institutions near the panchayats and districts are currently reserved.
