Key Takeaways:

• The data shows a clear preference or higher employment of women in state-level government roles compared to central or local government roles.
• Quasi-government organizations, both at the state and central levels, provide substantial employment opportunities for women, though not as much as the state government itself.
• Efforts to increase women's participation in Central Government and Local Self Government Institutions could help in achieving a more balanced distribution of employment.

Conclusion:

Women's participation in public sector employment in 2023 is predominantly concentrated in state-level government roles, particularly within the State Government and State Quasi Government organizations. There is a notable disparity in participation between state and central or local government roles, highlighting areas for potential policy intervention to promote gender diversity across all levels of government employment.
