Social inequality lies in certain features of all human societies. Predominantly in most of the countries, men enjoy authority, power and rights over resources. On the other hand, by empowerment we mean, to a large extent, the increase of women’s relative access to economic opportunities and resources. The anthropological study of economic organization is a focal point for discovering the relationship between material and non-material aspects of the environmental resources and human behaviour as well as the social system within which it is exchanged and distributed as cultural goods and services. In India, tribal people are found to be dwelling in the hills and forest-covered regions. Their livelihood and traditional economic organization is intimately associated with multifarious natural and environmental resources. In tribal societies, womenfolk play a very crucial role. In this context, environmental resources related to traditional economic organization have generated a scope of income for them, and it can generate a wider potential for their economic self-dependence. The present study has been done on the Karbi tribal group, of Karbi Anglong, Assam, to analyse the significance of environmental resources in the empowerment of women.

社会不平等存在于所有人类社会的某些特征中。在大多数国家中，男人对资源享有权威，权力和权利。另一方面，所谓赋权，在很大程度上是指增加妇女获得经济机会和资源的相对机会。经济组织的人类学研究是发现环境资源的物质和非物质方面与人类行为以及作为文化产品和服务进行交换和分配的社会系统之间关系的重点。在印度，发现部落居民居住在丘陵和森林覆盖的地区。他们的生计和传统的经济组织与各种各样的自然和环境资源有着密切的联系。在部落社会，妇女在其中起着至关重要的作用。在这种情况下，与传统经济组织有关的环境资源为其创造了一定的收入范围，并且可以为其经济自立产生更大的潜力。本研究是针对阿萨姆邦Karbi Anglong的Karbi部落组织进行的，以分析环境资源在增强妇女权能方面的重要性。
