Women are the backbone of the family. They work day and night to fulfill the requirements of their family besides having an active participation in agriculture and allied activities. This study mainly aims at identifying the “Extent of participation and decision making of women in family related activities in the rural areas of Telangana” for a total of 150 respondents selected from 12 villages of Karimnagar, Jagityal and Mancherial districts of Telangana using exploratory research design.

While in self related activities, full participation was observed in selection of the institute (74.00%) and incase of children related activities, feeding of the children (86.67%) and recreation of the children (81.34%). Majority of the women had self decision in purchasing of groceries (62.67 %), purchasing of appliances (62.67%) and household activities (60.67%) whereas decisions for occupation of the children (70.00%) and education (68.67%) were made with husband/father and had no decision in their marriage (30.00%) and family planning (26.67%).
