i-icon World Bank Income Classification:Low Income The World Bank classifies economies for analytical purposes into four income groups: low, lower-middle, upper-middle, and high income. For this purpose it uses gross national income (GNI) per capita data in U.S. dollars, converted from local currency using the World Bank Atlas method, which is applied to smooth exchange rate fluctuations. i-icon Least Developed Country:Yes Since 1971, the United Nations has recognized LDCs as a category of States that are deemed highly disadvantaged in their development process, for structural, historical and also geographical reasons. Three criteria are used: per capita income, human assets, and economic vulnerability. i-icon Gender Inequality Index:0.575 GII is a composite metric of gender inequality using three dimensions: reproductive health, empowerment and the labour market. A low GII value indicates low inequality between women and men, and vice-versa. i-icon Gender Development Index:0.723 GDI measures gender inequalities in achievement in three basic dimensions of human development: health, education, and command over economic resources.

More women lead, participate and have access to business opportunities to advance sustainable and inclusive growth

The CO strived to contribute to the achievement of gender equality by enabling women’s increased participation in the labour force and the marketplace and improved opportunities for women entrepreneurship and business start-ups. The CO reached over 2000 women entrepreneurs to raise awareness about business opportunities and provided directing training to over 500 such entrepreneurs. India has also mobilized 326 private sector companies to become gender-responsive by committing to and implementing the Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs). Moreover, UN Women India sought to strengthen the corporate sector’s commitment and action to ensure gender equality in their organisation, by working with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs to ensure the integration of gender-responsive provisions in the National Action Plan on Business and Human Rights.
