It has always been a serious issue to empower the tribal women of the schedule. Over the last three decades, there has been a continuous rise in awareness of the need to empower women through greater social, economic, and political fairness, broader access to basic human rights, and advancements in nutrition, basic health, and education. In the current article, an effort has been made to assess the roles of educational attainment, economic involvement, social capital, knowledge, and wealth in empowering women as well as their connections to health outcomes, with particular emphasis on India's tribal people. It was discovered that the poor health status of the primitive tribal women was caused by their low proxy empowerment indices, such as their illiteracy, limited media exposure, and substandard living conditions. As a result, female empowerment has a favorable impact on health outcomes.
