Abstract
The present study was made known from the data collected from 100 tribal women, who were involved in farming. The study was undertaken in randomly selected two villages Rajam (plain) and Palakonda (hilly) of Srikakulam district. District Srikakulam was randomly selected out of all the five districts of Andhra Pradesh, having tribal population to find out the participation of tribal women in different farming activities. The data were collected through a structured interview schedule, personally from tribal (SAVARA) woman who was involved in Farming. Appropriate statistical analysis was used, to explore the results. The results of the study revealed that, 63% of the total respondents were participating in farming activities.
