Women form a significant proportion of this work force in India. The key strategy for women’s empowerment and gender equality is to combine policy and institutions at the local level. The aim of skill development, particularly in case of women, is not merely to prepare them for jobs, but also to improve the performance of women workers by enhancing the quality of work in which they are engaged. There are few major challenges, which need to be addressed for building a conducive ecosystem, of skill development for the women workforce. It is argues that the empowerment practice has to go beyond its focus on women to gender. Women are seriously underrepresented in many occupations, thus, policies are needed to fight exclusions in the labour market by reducing the incidence of discriminatory practices. With this background, it is important to ensure women empowerment through skill development in the development programmes and thereby strive to have a conducing atmosphere for their effective participation.

There are 12 inerrogative sentences in the bamboo slips of Tao Te Ching, and all of them are wh-questions. Different from the traditional ancient classic version, the silk manuscript version of Tao Te Ching, these wh-questions do not carry wh-question particles at the end of the sentences. The LF movement hypothesis and unselective binding cannot hold in wh-interpretation of archaic Chinese wh-questions. Thus the Interrogative Feature Attraction Hypothesis may be applied to the interpretation of wh-questions. The wh-feature of the wh-word is attracted to the spec CP position to check the weak wh-feature of the head. Similar to wh-questions in modern Chinese, when there is no wh-particle at the end of the interrogative sentence, there must be a rising intonation Q at the end of the sentence. The Interrogative Feature Attraction Hypothesis is therefore revised, and the wh-feature in the wh-questions will be appropriately checked, and thus it is of great theoretical significance to the study of linguistic universality.
