Role of Indian Women in Agriculture
Journal Title: Research Journal of Philosophy & Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
India is a developing and agriculture country. Agriculture is considered as the backbone of the Indian rural economy and is a family enterprise. It is an important engine of growth and poverty reduction. Women in India are the backbone of the society and important resource in agriculture and rural economy. About 63% of all economically active men are engaged in agriculture as compared to 78% of women. Traditionally, women have always played an important role in agriculture- as farmers, co-farmers, wage labours and managers of farms. They have conventionally been producers of food from seed to kitchen. Women produce between 60 to 80 percent of the food in most developing countries and are responsible for half of the world’s food production; therefore, women’s role in food production ensures the survival of millions of people in all regions. Women must be aware of regarding their existing rights, access to judicial relief and redress, removing discrimination through legal reforms, and providing legal aid, assistance and counseling.
