This research was undertaken as part of the Women Improving Nutrition through Group-based Strategies (WINGS) study, and was aimed at understanding ways to improve agricultural practices among women farmers in India. Effective agricultural extension is key to improving productivity, increasing farmers’ access to information, and promoting more diverse sets of crops and improved methods of cultivation. In India, however, the coverage of agricultural extension workers and the relevance of extension advice is poor. We investigate whether a women’s self-help group platform could be an effective way of improving access to information, women’s empowerment in agriculture, agricultural practices, and production diversity. We use cross-sectional data on close to 1000 women from 5 states in India, and employ nearest-neighbor matching models to match self-help group (SHG) and non-SHG women along a range of observed characteristics. We find that participation in an SHG increases women’s access to information and their participation in some agricultural decisions, but has limited impact on agricultural practices or outcomes, possibly due to financial constraints, social norms, and women’s domestic responsibilities. SHGs need to go beyond provision of information to changing the dynamics around women’s participation in agriculture to effectively translate knowledge into practice.

In the wake of the Green Revolution, the rapid modernisation of agricultural production has brought about changes in the economic and social position of poor rural Indian women. In this monograph Maria Mies and her two assistants draw on their close interaction with women in three villages of India's southern state of Andhra Pradesh to discuss the relationships between farm mechanisation, the displacement of men's labour, the growing involvement of poor women in casual agricultural labour and the prevailing perception of women as dependants, and to demonstrate that the integration of women int.

This is the first specialised volume with a holistic approach dealing with the most vulnerable and neglected section of workers in unorganised sector of agriculture. Tracing women's role and status in the historical perspective, existing situational analysis and making future projections are the main sub-themes discussed threadbare. Women workers in different agro-ecological and types of farming have been analysed by various scholars. Papers on technology and women bring out, among other things, a situational analysis, work conditions in home and farm, wages, bearing on her farm employment and participation. Prospective role and status have been projected in the changing techno-economic context that warrants about the displacement of women workers in developing agriculture. In the series, this volume focusses on the issues of educational problems of the rural women in general and specialised training needs, facilities available and utilization of these in particular for providing them appropriate place in the prospective agriculture. Training needs of different groups in different agroclimatic and cultural contexts have been compiled at one place. Multiplicity of institutions has certainly benefited women fold but mushrooming of voluntary agencies is not desirable in spite of the best performance of voluntary agencies. What role different institutional structures have played in the education and training of women is discussed at length and future course of involvements is debated. Different agricultural development strategies adopted since independence have been critically examined for assessing the place of women in them and urgent action needed to meet the future challenges.

The paper highlights the role of rural women in agriculture in India: (1) their work participation rates in agriculture, and (2) the effects of the Green Revolution in terms of: (a) the rise in the number of female agricultural laborers and the type of work performed by them, (b) marginalization and poverty-prone existence of rural women, (c) technological impact and displacement, and (d) wage differentials. The study looks at rural women agricultural workers at a level where class and gender inequalities coincide. Women agricultural workers are occupying very low positions in the agrarian hierarchy. In terms of gender, rural women bear the burden of poverty and exploitation more heavily than men. The paper also discusses how rural women have been pushed into the category of "helpers." Women's participation in agricultural production is related to the decline in farm size and persistent poverty. The paper argues that women, and all "weaker" groups in general, are virtually inarticulate victims of the principle of equality in an unequal social context. And, so long as gender is an important indicator of economic social and political roles, there will be a need for special policies targeted to rural women for education and training, technology transfer, and credit.

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) produced a 2011 report on women in agriculture with a clear and urgent message: agriculture underperforms because half of all farmers—women—lack equal access to the resources and opportunities they need to be more productive. This book builds on the report’s conclusions by providing, for a non-specialist audience, a compendium of what we know now about gender gaps in agriculture.

Our is basically an agricultural country. It is a source of livelihood for over 70 per cent of the population depend on agriculture. Therefore it has become a family enterprise. The whole family of men, women and children work on it and earn their livelihood. Men's role in agriculture is widely known, but women's role is not that open, though they mostly work for more number of hours, with less privileges, tedious activities and with painful postures. It is only in the recent times that their role is being recognized, though there is a possibility that the women themselves are not aware of their contributions, hardships, and above all over burden of not only the household jobs but jobs related to agriculture and allied fields. The conditions is worse when they work on fields not of their own but on others. India is a vast country marked by different regions with diverse agro-climatic conditions. Hence the importance of conducting region-specific studies. The present study is conducted in Chittoor, one of the for districts of the drought-prone Rayalaseema region in the state of Andhra Pradesh. Of the total female work force in Chittoor District, 85.3 per cent are engaged in farm sector either as cultivators or as agricultural labourers. There is need for region-specific studies to gain clearer and deeper insights into the extent of women’s participation in agriculture and allied enterprises, problems confronted by them, and shifts in policy measures to be made to help them play a productive role and act as effective partners, along with men, in agricultural and rural development. The present humble attempt to make a micro level study.
