Solution

The correct option is B 2001

The objective of the Women’s Empowerment year was to create large-scale awareness with the active participation of women themselves. It was proposed by Govt. of India to launch yearlong activities to bring about a change in the environment which will be conducive to develop self-confidence and assertiveness among women and children, especially girls. Govt. of India drew up a year-long programme suggesting month wise themes for the celebration of the year 2001 and also advised the State Governments to celebrate the year in a befitting manner.
