Role of Women in Indian Agriculture

Abstract

Women have been underprivileged due to Indian social system- the labor and contribution of women in balancing work and life is a challenging one- the traditional misconceptions force the system in refusing women in all respects- wage payments and other entitlements have unjustly denied to them aided by institutionalized bias. Poor educational opportunities remain the curse for women in asserting their roles in getting primacy in sharing the fruits of their labor. Still, of late, things have started improving owing to some positive policy pronouncements from the government.
