The 74th Constitutional Amendment Act of 1992 mandated one-third reservation of seats for women in urban local self-government institutions. This marked the first time women were guaranteed representation in local bodies and helped empower them to participate directly in decision-making. It aimed to secure women's active involvement in socio-economic development issues. The Act also extended reservations to women from scheduled castes and tribes, providing the foundation for more women to become leaders at state and national levels.
