Abstract

This study explores the mediating role of Skill Enhancement Training (SET) in the relationship between the Kudumbasree Mission (KM) and Women Empowerment (WE) among women in Palakkad district, Kerala. Grounded in a conceptual framework that positions SET as a critical link between institutional support and empowerment outcomes, the research involved 488 valid responses from six diverse panchayats. Data were collected through structured tested questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results confirmed that Kudumbasree Mission(KM) significantly contributes to Women Empowerment (WE) both directly and indirectly through Skill Enhancement Training (SET). Measurement model evaluation showed strong reliability and validity, with satisfactory model fit indices (CFI = 0.96, RMSEA = 0.05).
