Empowerment is the process of enabling or authorizing individual to think, take action and control work in an autonomous way.

Empowerment includes control over resources (physical, human, intellectual and financial) and over ideology (beliefs, values and attitudes). (Baltiwala, 1994). It is not merely a feel of greater extrinsic control, but also grows intrinsic capacity, greater self-confidence and an internal transformation of one‟s consciousness that enables one to overcome external barriers to accessing resources or changing traditional ideology (Pinto, 2001).
