  • Abstract:
  • India stands as a developing nation with an agrarian economic foundation. The rural expanse encompasses around 65% of the population, of which a substantial 80% rely on agriculture as their primary income source. Particularly in developing nations, women have emerged as pivotal contributors to food production on farms. In the context of rural India, a striking 84% of women are directly tied to agriculture for sustenance, actively participating in a range of agricultural and related pursuits such as crop cultivation, livestock oversight, and post-harvest procedures. However, despite their profound engagement, women encounter glaring disparities in accessing productive resources, significantly constraining their capacity to amplify productivity.
