Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
The role of women in tribal communities is substantial and crucial. They constitute about half the total population but in tribal society women are more important than the social groups, because they work harder and the family economy and management depends on them. This study was aimed to investigate the role performance of tribal women of the Nilgiris district in Animal Husbandry operations. A sample of 180 tribal women was taken as respondents for the study. The results suggest that the tribal women actively performed their roles in collecting fodder for animals (4.48) and milking (4.48), compost making (4.17) and feeding the animals (4.14). Tribal women had performed well in roles like feeding (2.05), collection of eggs (2.04) and preparation of feed (2.00) with respective to poultry keeping. It could be inferred that the role of tribal farm women in most of the animal husbandry related operations were mostly performed.
