Bibipur Model of Women Empowerment and Village Development, commonly known as the Bibipur Model, is a program aimed at promoting gender equality and enhancing the socio-economic conditions of women in rural India.
It was introduced by Sunil Jaglan, a former sarpanch of Bibipur village in 2016, and gained national recognition when it was adopted in 2017 by the former President of India Pranab Mukherjee for implementation in 100 villages across Haryana.

The initiative aims to empower women and promote gender equality through various strategies, including community engagement and awareness campaigns.
