Educational Welfare Schemes and Women Empowerment in India: A Study of the Pudhumai Penn Scheme as a Real Catalyst of Human Capital Development Beyond Artificial Intelligence

Abstract This paper examines the role of educational welfare schemes in promoting women empowerment and human capital development in India, with special reference to the Pudhumai Penn Scheme of Tamil Nadu, amid the rapid emergence of Artificial Intelligence in education. While AI-driven initiatives enhance digital learning, the study emphasizes that welfare-based educational support has a stronger and more inclusive impact on women’s empowerment, particularly among socio-economically disadvantaged groups. The study assesses the scheme’s influence on educational participation, social empowerment, and capability building beyond technology-centric approaches. Primary data were collected from 194 girl students pursuing higher education. Descriptive statistics, one-sample t-tests, and chi-square tests were employed to examine perceived scheme effectiveness and empowerment outcomes across demographic variables. The findings indicate significant educational and social benefits of the scheme, especially among students from low- and middle-income households. Significant associations were observed between income level, institution type, and empowerment outcomes. The study concludes that despite the expansion of AI, educational welfare schemes remain essential for inclusive women empowerment and sustainable human capital development.
