Study on Status of Women Representatives in Urban Local Bodies of Rajasthan (2011).
Women have acquired enough space in urban local bodies, particularly in the context of 50% reservation for them. This calls for examining their role as elected representatives. The broad objective of the study is to ascertain the Status of Women Representatives in the Urban Local Bodies of Rajasthan and to examine their role along with the efficacy and gaps in implementation and implications of the laws enacted for the reservation of a woman candidate in urban local bodies as well as record the perception and problems faced by them at the workplace. It is concluded that the women councilors in Urban Local Bodies have taken up their responsibilities with a sense of commitment within the parameters of their experience (or lack of it) and their status vis-à-vis their male counterpart. Though there is no critical evidence to show discriminatory practices within the local body or outside, involving women councilors, there is no denying the fact that hesitation and lack of confidence in their own capabilities characterize their functioning as elected members.

The study is being conducting in 14 districts covering 224 schools.
