Reforming Decision Models and Assessing the Impact of State Schemes on Rural Women's Social Development

Résumé

The Government of Tamil Nadu has introduced numerous welfare schemes to empower women and uplift their socio-economic status. While these initiatives play a vital role in fostering inclusion and development, their effectiveness often varies across different dimensions. This study presents a comparative analysis of five major women-centric schemes using rhotrices-based decision-making techniques. The proposed framework enables a structured and quantitative evaluation by incorporating multiple criteria and offering a comprehensive visual representation of performance. By systematically comparing the schemes, this approach highlights their relative strengths and weaknesses, ensuring objectivity in assessment. The findings provide valuable insights that can guide policymakers in refining existing programs and formulating future interventions to maximize their impact on women’s empowerment and socio-economic progress.
