Abstract: Since independence Indian society travelled a long way to reach the remarkable place in the modern world by its own culture and tradition. In India, Women constitute nearly half of the population and play a major role in the economic growth aspects of the family and nation by their unconditioned support in different aspects especially in the technical reforms. The future of mankind is thus linked to the development of women’s potential in the development phase. After independence, the Indian constitution has given the equal opportunities to men & women on paper as a Act yet women remain secondary to men. This study aimed to picture the issues and challenges faced by the women employees in the modern world with reference to the technical industries. For the study purpose focus group discussion were conducted among the 50 women employees in the different types of technical enterprises and the study results were narrated in the different headings. This study found that mostly women are feeling insecure in the work place due to many reasons but they are working the industries to prove themselves to the society in terms of various aspects such as fulfill the economic needs of the family, social recognition, passion and enjoy the social freedom from the traditional society. This study suggests the society and industries to treat all the gender in equal and maintain the social balance. Further, more number of industry specific studies are needed in this area to picture the reality of the women workers in the society and the modern world.
