• The constitution of India provides for the equal representation and participation of all citizens in the decision-making process.
• Provisions such as reservation or quotas in politics, education, and jobs ensure that marginalized groups such as women, Dalits and tribes are represented in decision-making bodies.
• Organisations like the National Commission for Women and National Commission for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes ensures that the voices of these marginalized groups are heard.
• Various laws such as the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, and the Right to Education Act also ensure that these groups are protected and provided with opportunities and resources to participate in decision-making.
• Government policies and programmes such as the MGNREGA, and the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan also aim to empower marginalized groups by providing them with employment and education.
• The judiciary and civil society organisations also play a vital role in ensuring that the voices of these groups are not suppressed and are heard in decision-making processes.

Overall, the governance system of India has put in place several mechanisms to ensure the representation and participation of marginalized groups in decision-making processes.
