Women from the Scheduled Caste community, the lowest rung of India's caste system, are usually excluded in society. However, the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Act is creating jobs for these women, allowing them to gain some respect. The number of Scheduled Caste women working in 102 selected villages increased from 2,811 women in 2009 to 14,174 women in 2011.
