Purpose of the study: This paper endeavours to re-examine the socio-economic factors influencing empowerment among married women in rural India over two points of time, 2005 and 2012. It examines the interplay of the work status of rural married women and the poverty status of their household in influencing empowerment. Methodology: The study uses the nationally representative multi-topic India Human Development Survey (IHDS). IHDS panel data has been utilized to assess the entry and exit from a workforce of rural married women, to define the components of empowerment among rural married women and analyze the socio-economic factors influencing the empowerment among rural married women. Main Findings: The outcomes show the increase in the overall empowerment rates in spite of their mobility constraints seem to have badly risen during the period 2005-2012, especially in the context of deteriorating work input among rural women. Moreover, working rural married women from BPL (Below Poverty Line) rural households are less likely to be empowered as compared to working rural married women from APL (Above Poverty Line) households. Applications of this study: The rural female work participation rate is declining in the phase of rising economic growth and education. In this context, their empowerment would not only benefit their personal lives but also impact their economic lives, thus contribute to the country`s GDP. This makes it vital to analyze as to what comprises their empowerment in the first place so that it can be promoted through various schemes. Novelty/Originality of this study: Women’s economic empowerment and their participation in work are essential to bringing in the fullest demographic dividend for inclusive economic escalation and sustainable development in India. Thus, empowerment which may not necessarily be implied by employment is conditioned upon the poverty status of the household. However, the empowerment of rural married women is facilitated by higher education of self, husband and other family members.

Purpose This paper aims to explore the consumers’ and service-providers’ perspectives on the factors influencing adoption of e-services in rural India. The purpose is to enable better diffusion of technology for societal development in this digital era. Design/methodology/approach Using qualitative-based multiple-participant interviews, this study explores the factors affecting e-service adoption from two different perspectives. While interviews were conducted in five villages with 14 respondents to find out the perspectives of the consumers, this study also explores the service-providers’ perspectives through interviews conducted among 11 managerial respondents. Findings Catering to personal needs, improving perceived usefulness, value-added options, data analytics for better understanding customers and improving service delivery of the e-service are the major factors identified by the service-providers. The study also concludes that convenience, compatibility, societal influence and availability of value-added addition of the e-service are decisive in e-service adoption from the perspectives of the consumers. Research limitations/implications The first limitation of this research is that there can be common method bias. Second, there were overlapping themes. Practical implications This study can help researchers working on the adoption of e-services in under-developed/developing countries. The findings of this study may help industries to focus on the determinants while designing the e-services for improving their rate of adoption. Social implications This study will help in better diffusion of e-services in rural areas, which in turn will help in societal development in this digital era. Originality/value The focus is on societal development through the adoption of e-services in rural areas. To the best of the knowledge of the researchers, no qualitative study has been performed to capture the perspectives of both the service-providers and the consumers on the adoption of e-services in India.
