Bibliometric and Policy Analysis of Gender Inclusion in Electricity to Attain Sustainable Development Goals in India

Abstract

Electricity is fundamental to contemporary life and vitally influences the advancement and development of a civilization. The degree to which energy policies in India openly include gender issues remains a significant inquiry. This study aims to analyze the incorporation of gender problems into power regulations. Although several laws recognize the capacity of electricity to empower women, numerous others neglect to address gender-specific requirements and consequences. This oversight may sustain current gender gaps, restricting the comprehensive advantages of electrification. This research seeks to emphasize the significance of a more clear and deliberate approach to gender issues in Indian power planning. It provides suggestions for integrating gender into forthcoming policy frameworks to guarantee that energy availability fosters a more fair and just society. This research also analysis the work done related to the subject from 2005 to 2025.
