Abstract

This chapter examines the opportunities and challenges faced by Indian women leaders in the field of environmental management. As India undergoes rapid development and faces growing environmental concerns, the need for effective leadership in environmental management becomes increasingly crucial. The chapter highlights the progress made in promoting women's involvement in this field, such as increasing awareness, government policies, education and skill development, networking opportunities, and global collaborations. However, it also identifies the challenges that hinder women's progress, including gender biases, limited representation, work-life balance, resource access, and cultural constraints.
