Abstract

Rural women play a significant role in agriculture and related industries in our nation and are essential to the welfare of farm households. The farm women perform a huge variety of tasks every day, including farming, raising and producing livestock, gathering forest produce, etc. In addition to their typical domestic duties, they also fetch water, fodder, and firewood for the family's needs as well as for the cattle. Women make up almost half of India's human resource pool. Many of them reside in rural areas, and many of them are uneducated, destitute, and under the poverty line. In addition, rural women have less access to a variety of resources than urban women. Therefore, it is necessary to alter their ability to work, broaden their knowledge, hone their talents, and raise their economic standing.
