Abstract: The study analyzes selected few theories with the view points of different social thinkers. The conflict social theorists overlook class- integration whereas functionalist theorists are biased towards social equilibrium. Some of the structural theories reject the human agency as important element of social change whereas non- structural theories emphasize in human agency aspect Th e study focuses mainly on Scott’s dyadic concept of Public Transcript and Hidden Transcript, and Sen ‘ s Gender Cooperation Conflict. Both Scott and Sen lay emphasis on human agency aspect, though they look upon structural conflict in social settings too. Their models have been analyzed and found out that the shortcomings of each can be supplemented or gaps can be fitted by each other ‘ s model. An attempt has been made to apply these two models together in both Strategic and Practical Needs for Gender Planning.
