Women involvement in agricultural extension services in bangladesh
Women play a vital role in Bangladeshi agriculture, with their participation increasing over 55% from 1984 to 2010. Approximately 63% of employed women work in the agriculture sector. Historically, agricultural extension services in Bangladesh failed to effectively engage women farmers under the Training and Visit system, which viewed women only as beneficiaries rather than agricultural producers. More recent policies aim to better include women in extension by strengthening their links to services, which could boost food security, reduce poverty, and improve household nutrition. However, challenges remain in enhancing women's participation in agricultural extension.

Women play a significant yet often overlooked role in agriculture around the world. They make up the majority of the agricultural workforce but face greater challenges like malnutrition and lack of decision making power. In India as well, women constitute the backbone of agriculture and are heavily involved in various farming activities as well as domestic and allied tasks. However, strategies are needed to reduce the drudgery of women farmers through empowerment, appropriate technologies, and ensuring equal rights and representation.
Economics
Women play a significant but often overlooked role in Pakistan's economy. While traditionally viewed as housewives, women contribute through various economic activities, particularly in rural areas through agriculture, livestock raising, and cottage industries. Currently, around 25% of Pakistani women participate in the formal workforce, though the actual percentage is likely higher when considering informal work. Increasing women's education and reducing social and legal barriers could boost women's economic participation and increase Pakistan's GDP by up to 30%.

This document discusses the role of women in agriculture in Pakistan. It notes that women comprise 41% of the global agricultural workforce and play a vital role in crop production activities from preparation to harvesting. In Pakistan, rural women contribute to all crop production operations while also handling domestic responsibilities. However, their efforts often go unrecognized. Major constraints faced by women include poor health, lack of safety, discriminatory attitudes, domestic violence, limited access to training, education, credit, and technology. The document outlines several ways to empower women such as improving support services, collecting gender-disaggregated data, enhancing education and training opportunities, and developing women's entrepreneurial skills.
Women in agriculture in Pakistan By Allah Dad Khan
Women play a significant role in agriculture across Pakistan, though their roles vary significantly based on geographic region and local customs. In rural areas, women perform unpaid work in agriculture such as land preparation, sowing, weeding, harvesting, livestock care, and post-harvest activities. However, women often lack equal access to resources like land ownership and extension services. The document recommends improving women's opportunities through education and training programs in agriculture, marketing, and empowerment to enhance their participation and productivity in the agriculture sector.

This article investigates organic farming of snake fruit and arrowroot. Those plants are expected to contribute to the farmer household’s income improvement. In fact, it gives less contribution to their income. This condition causes those farmers are not interested in this farming business. Consequently, it emerges a problem about how to develop women farmer’s entrepreneurial intention at Wonokerto village. In general, this research observed the initial stage entrepreneurship. Therefore, it focused on the entrepreneurial intention. The main objective of this research was analyze the role of women farmers’ entrepreneurial intention as the mediator of production factors (entrepreneurship, skill, and natural/land resource) on income improvement of the farmers’ household. The analysis tool utilized in this research was path model as the form of advanced regression model. Data collection is conducted by arranging interview and distributing structured questionnaire to 39 respondents whom are women farmers at Wonokerto. The result indicates that entrepreneurial intention is the mediating variable between entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial intention. Thus, the main focus during initial stage of business is to enhance entrepreneurial intention. This research expects if organic snake fruit and arrowroot-based processed food business is able to be implemented, then the existence of Wonokerto’s salacca and arrowroot species will be conserved.

Women in agriculture
Women make up a significant portion of the agricultural workforce in developing countries, ranging from 20% in Latin America to over 50% in some parts of Africa and Asia. They perform many agricultural tasks like crop farming, animal husbandry, food processing, and household chores. However, female farmers often have less access to resources like land, credit, education, and extension services compared to male farmers. As a result, yields are typically 20-30% lower for women compared to men cultivating the same plots. Closing this gender gap in agriculture could increase overall production by 2.5-4% and reduce global hunger by 12-17%. Organizations are working to promote gender equality and empower women in the agricultural sector to reduce
Farmers suicide
Farmer suicide is a major crisis in India, with over 284,000 farmers taking their own lives since 1995. The highest rates are in Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Madhya Pradesh. Suicides are most common among male farmers aged 30-59 cultivating cotton. Farmers are struggling due to debt, crop failures, lack of irrigation, declining prices, and high costs of farming inputs. Recommendations to address the issue include comprehensive insurance, sustainable farming practices, regulated seed and pesticide suppliers, improved credit systems, and diversifying livelihoods.

A study on factors affecting decision making of farm women
The document discusses rural women's roles in agriculture and decision making. It notes that women play key roles in agricultural production from soil preparation to post-harvest activities. However, their contributions are often not recognized and they have little decision making power due to social and cultural norms. The study aims to understand the factors affecting rural women's decision making and problems they face. It will survey 100 women farmers across 5 villages in Nayagarh district of Odisha, India to gather data on socioeconomic conditions, incomes, cropping patterns, and women's participation in agricultural and domestic work.
Role of farm women in Indian Agriculture
Women play a significant role in Indian agriculture. They are involved in various agricultural activities like sowing, weeding, harvesting, processing and storing of crops. Several studies show that women participate extensively in agricultural operations like land preparation, seed selection, weeding, harvesting, threshing and storage. However, their roles often go unrecognized. The document discusses the need to empower women agriculturists and ensure equal participation and decision making for women in agriculture. It also outlines various government policies and recommendations to address issues faced by women farmers.
Women contribution
Women play an important economic role in Bangladesh, particularly in agriculture, the garment industry, and small and medium enterprises. In agriculture, women make up 46.75% of the population engaged in the sector and perform tasks from seed selection to crop harvesting and storage. They are also heavily involved in livestock, poultry, and home gardening. The garment industry employs over 2.88 million women, comprising 78% of the workforce. SMEs employ over 87% of the industrial workforce but women entrepreneurs currently own less than 10% of businesses. The document examines the contributions and challenges women face in these three key economic sectors.
Indian agri. crisis & farmer suicides
India is considered as one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Agriculture is the mother of most of the economies in the world. Much of its influence is on the other sectors - industry and service. India is the second largest in farm output. Hence, India’s economic security continues to be predicated upon the agriculture sector, and the situation is not likely to change in the near future. Even today, the share of agriculture in employment is about 49% of the population, as against around 75% at the time of independence. There are several reasons like vicious cycle of poverty, crops failure, illiteracy, high indebtedness, low level of income, low level technology, Government Policies, addiction to alcohol, domestic affairs, old traditions, pessimistic outlook of farmers etc. are some of the main reasons for agricultural crisis and farmers suicides in India. Maharashtra, Telangana, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala are the top most five states in India in farmers suicides. The need of the hour is protect our farmers by all means, thus avoiding their suicides and agrarian crisis. This Paper is an attempt to focus attention on causes of agricultural crisis and farmer suicides in India with special reference to Telangana.

Presentation on farmer suicides
This document summarizes a presentation on farmer suicides in India. It notes that over 60% of India's population depends on agriculture for their livelihood, but farmers face many social, economic, and political hardships. It discusses journalist P. Sainath's documentary "Nero's Guests," which draws attention to the over 200,000 farmer suicides that have occurred since 1997 due to issues like debt, crop failure, inability to sell crops, and depression. It suggests various recommendations to address the problem, including providing equal compensation for suicide victims regardless of gender, educating farmers, and making financial resources more accessible.
lysis of The Factors Responsible for Occupational Mobility from Agriculture t...
The tribal people are relatively isolates, encysted, tradition bound, inward looking and less enterprising. During the post independence period, they have been experiencing induced social change through planned development and interventions. But in spite of such endeavor, the rate of progress and development are not commensurate with the expectations. Majority of cultivators use land in only in kharif season and migrated to other places for alternative occupation like brickwork, construction work and industrial purposes in lean period. Even if they do not hesitate to leave their house including all other resources and migrated to other districts and continue to work as labourer for the rest period of their life. Due to lack of sufficient scope for livelihood and deterioration of natural resources on which the tribal people depend much for their hereditary occupation, they migrate to other occupation or other places in search of job. Pitrim Sorokin (1927) defined social mobility as “any transition of an individual or social object or value, anything that has been created or modified by human activity, from one social position to another”. The mobility of the tribal people mainly depends on the availability of work/job, job satisfaction, relative economic advantage etc. The present study has been carried out with the objectives of to study the modalities of the occupational mobility from the agriculture to non-agricultural activities along with the factors responsible for such mobility.The study was conducted in Mayurbhanj district of Odisha purposefully in which the tribals occupy 58.72 % of the total population. Four blocks were selected randomly each one from four sub divisions. Fifteen tribal people were selected from each village as respondents randomly from twelve villages three from each block totaling to sample size of 180. The finding from the study implies that 86.11 percent respondents were going outside their locality for their occupation. The table indicates that majority of the respondents (63.88 %) were moving within their own locality regularly whereas 40% of the respondents were moving within their block. It was observed that majority of respondents (84.44 percent) were always moving for other occupation during the period of April to June. It was observed that 48.88 percent respondents regularly visited outside after harvest of own crop. It was also observed that mobility of the respondents according to their occupation was highest in case of agricultural labourer (53.88 %) followed by labour in construction work. In the study majority of the respondents opined that to get more income was the main factor responsible for change in occupation followed by skill developed, government developmental schemes, communication facility, infrastructural development, change in life style, educational support, social status, change in climate, extension/technical support, marketability, input support, credit support and political influence.
Women role ,problems,solution in agricu;ture
This document discusses gender issues in agriculture. It notes that women have extensive workloads from both farm and household duties. Their workload is increasing due to environmental degradation and changing farming practices. While women contribute significantly to household income through various farm and non-farm activities, their work is often underestimated. The document outlines some of the constraints women farmers face, such as less access to and control over land, assets, income, credit, and education compared to male farmers. It suggests some solutions like increasing women's literacy, providing more access to credit, and promoting gender equality.

Role of farm women in indian agriculture
Farm women play a vital but often overlooked role in Indian agriculture. They are involved in activities across the agricultural cycle from land preparation to harvesting, storage, and beyond. However, their contributions remain largely unpaid and unrecognized. They face numerous challenges including gender inequalities in wages, lack of land and asset ownership, time poverty due to domestic responsibilities, and occupational health and safety issues. There is a need for policies and programs that promote women's empowerment in agriculture through improved access to resources, education, training, and recognition of their substantial economic contributions.

Sainath's documentary "Nero's Guests," which draws attention to the over 200,000 farmer suicides that have occurred since 1997 due to issues like debt, crop failure, inability to sell crops, and depression. It suggests various recommendations to address the problem, including providing equal compensation for suicide victims regardless of gender, educating farmers, and making financial resources more accessible.
lysis of The Factors Responsible for Occupational Mobility from Agriculture t...
The tribal people are relatively isolates, encysted, tradition bound, inward looking and less enterprising. During the post independence period, they have been experiencing induced social change through planned development and interventions. But in spite of such endeavor, the rate of progress and development are not commensurate with the expectations. Majority of cultivators use land in only in kharif season and migrated to other places for alternative occupation like brickwork, construction work and industrial purposes in lean period. Even if they do not hesitate to leave their house including all other resources and migrated to other districts and continue to work as labourer for the rest period of their life. Due to lack of sufficient scope for livelihood and deterioration of natural resources on which the tribal people depend much for their hereditary occupation, they migrate to other occupation or other places in search of job. Pitrim Sorokin (1927) defined social mobility as “any transition of an individual or social object or value, anything that has been created or modified by human activity, from one social position to another”. The mobility of the tribal people mainly depends on the availability of work/job, job satisfaction, relative economic advantage etc. The present study has been carried out with the objectives of to study the modalities of the occupational mobility from the agriculture to non-agricultural activities along with the factors responsible for such mobility.The study was conducted in Mayurbhanj district of Odisha purposefully in which the tribals occupy 58.72 % of the total population. Four blocks were selected randomly each one from four sub divisions. Fifteen tribal people were selected from each village as respondents randomly from twelve villages three from each block totaling to sample size of 180. The finding from the study implies that 86.11 percent respondents were going outside their locality for their occupation. The table indicates that majority of the respondents (63.88 %) were moving within their own locality regularly whereas 40% of the respondents were moving within their block. It was observed that majority of respondents (84.44 percent) were always moving for other occupation during the period of April to June. It was observed that 48.88 percent respondents regularly visited outside after harvest of own crop. It was also observed that mobility of the respondents according to their occupation was highest in case of agricultural labourer (53.88 %) followed by labour in construction work. In the study majority of the respondents opined that to get more income was the main factor responsible for change in occupation followed by skill developed, government developmental schemes, communication facility, infrastructural development, change in life style, educational support, social status, change in climate, extension/technical support, marketability, input support, credit support and political influence.
Women role ,problems,solution in agricu;ture
This document discusses gender issues in agriculture. It notes that women have extensive workloads from both farm and household duties. Their workload is increasing due to environmental degradation and changing farming practices. While women contribute significantly to household income through various farm and non-farm activities, their work is often underestimated. The document outlines some of the constraints women farmers face, such as less access to and control over land, assets, income, credit, and education compared to male farmers. It suggests some solutions like increasing women's literacy, providing more access to credit, and promoting gender equality.

Role of farm women in indian agriculture
Farm women play a vital but often overlooked role in Indian agriculture. They are involved in activities across the agricultural cycle from land preparation to harvesting, storage, and beyond. However, their contributions remain largely unpaid and unrecognized. They face numerous challenges including gender inequalities in wages, lack of land and asset ownership, time poverty due to domestic responsibilities, and occupational health and safety issues. There is a need for policies and programs that promote women's empowerment in agriculture through improved access to resources, education, training, and recognition of their substantial economic contributions.

This document summarizes a research article that investigated the contributions of women in cassava production and processing activities among farmers in Delta State, Nigeria. The study found that the majority (71%) of farmers were women. Women were highly involved in cassava planting (79%), weeding (71%), and harvesting (69%), while men contributed more to land preparation and ridge making. Women also dominated the processing of cassava into foods like foo-foo, garri, and tapioca, while men contributed more to grinding and pounding. The benefits of cassava farming for farmers included increased household food security and income. However, women faced challenges like inadequate labor, high costs of processing equipment, lack of access to credit, and inadequate extensionself help group SRI
This study evaluated the social and economic advantages of System of Rice Intensification (SRI) cultivation for empowering self-help group women farmers in Tamil Nadu, India. The majority of respondents reported that SRI increased their income and standard of living. Higher incomes allowed women to participate more in social activities and gain decision-making power. SRI also reduced women's labor needs, increasing their leadership qualities and engagement in self-help groups. Overall, SRI cultivation economically empowered women farmers and their families through higher yields and incomes.
Credt 4 Women Final
The document discusses the history and current state of credit programs targeting women in India. It notes that international conferences in the 1970s began seriously considering women's access to credit. In India, subsequent five-year plans from 1980-2007 included goals of empowering women economically and socially through increased access to credit and formation of self-help groups. Currently, most self-help groups in India are composed of women, who studies show are more likely than men to use extra income on family needs like healthcare, education and nutrition.
Women labour participation of agricultural production in sindh pakistan
This study was conducted to investigate the economics analysis of women labour participation in agricultural
production in Mirpurkhas, Sindh during 2013. The results of the study showed that that the women labourers got
maximum employment in agriculture during kharif (67 days) and rabi season (53 days). The women labourers
got 120 days of employment in agriculture in a year. The labourers got maximum number of days of
employment in weeding (64 days) followed by harvesting and post harvest operations (34 days). They received
wages in cash for all operations except harvest and post harvest operations. They worked for 7-8 hours a day.
The women labourers had maximum unemployed days in summer (120 days) as this is the off season for
agriculture in the study area. Their family consumption expenditure, their savings and debt position is presented
the average debit amount was Rs.3100.00 in kharif . It increased in Rabi Rs. 4700.00. The impact of seasonal
woman unemployment in agriculture on the income of the labourers, their family consumption expenditure, their
savings and debt position .That the during kharif season the labourers got on an average Rs. 19700.00 as income.
But during rabi they received only Rs. 18000.00 as income from wage earnings in agriculture .The expenditure
on food item was on an average Rs. 10300.00during kharif . It reduced by 13.94 per cent during rabi 8300.00.
The expenditure on non-food items also decreased from Rs. 7500.00 to Rs. 62000.00. The change was
Rs.1300.The lack of employment opportunities in agriculture during off season compelled the women labourers
to seek alternative employment sources like activities, construction works, tile making etc. The seasonal woman
unemployment in agriculture has caused a severe impact on the income of labourers, family expenditure, their
savings and debt position.

The Impact of Development Interventions on Rural Women’s Economic Empowerment...
The study investigated women led income generating projects in Mafutseni and Dvokodvweni both constituencies in the Kingdom of ESwatini. The aim was to gain some understanding on ways in which women transform their livelihoods taking into consideration household income, skills training, and access to finance and empowerment. The objectives of the study were to determine development intervention’s influence on rural women’s livelihoods, determining the extent to which these development interventions influence rural women’s livelihoods and how education and training impact their livelihood strategies. The study established that there are an increasing number of women entrepreneurs who are becoming active players in sustainable development. Rural women in these constituencies were found to be playing an important role in economic development and poverty alleviation in their communities. Most income generating activitieshowever, did not increase household’s welfare for women who lack education and training, access to credit and management skills. It was concluded that there is a greater need to empower women for sustainable development if the country is to meet its vision 2022 developmental agenda.

It recommends expanding similar programs to more smallholder farmers while addressing gender differences and crop needs.Women Reclaim Our Seeds
This document is a collection of stories about women reclaiming control over seeds in Asia. It includes stories from Vietnam, India, Pakistan, and the Philippines. The Vietnam story describes how women in Bac Kan Province are revitalizing traditional rice seed varieties. In India, women farmers in Uttarakhand are reviving lost wheat varieties and promoting crop diversity. In Pakistan, women are struggling for land rights, which are linked to food sovereignty. In the Philippines, a group of women organized themselves and shifted to organic farming as an alternative to corporate agriculture. Across these diverse settings, women are working to preserve traditional seeds and sustainable farming practices in the face of pressures from industrial agriculture.

What is ‘Women’s Studies’ ?
Women’s Studies as an academic discipline is a science concerned about women’s equality with man and the development of women. It provides an analytical tool, a worldview to understand the status of women and an alternative view point to existing knowledge construction. It is interdisciplinary in perspective. It is a partisan discipline,i.e. it is pro-women; at the same time, not anti-men. It emphasizes the need for providing a material basis for women’s independence and autonomy. Important objectives of women’s studies are as follows :
• To facilitate the process of understanding, recognizing and giving due importance to the contributions made by women and men.
• To examine the reasons for subordination of women and for male domination.
• To empower women to attain gender justice and an effective role in all decision – making processes.
• To evolve development alternatives with women.
• To ensure visibility of women as change agents for the enhancement of the status of women.
• To identify and understand roots of inequality that result in invisibility, marginalization and exclusion of women from the intellectual world.
• To support social action aimed at equality, development, peace, education, health and employment of women.

There has been less recognition to women contribute to agricultural and food security. Women’s work in the agriculture and food security often remains invisible. The research sought to investigate the role of women agriculture in providing household food security and reducing of hunger and malnutrition in rural communities. The research used a survey research design, quantitative and qualitative data was gathered. Findings were that social and economic constraints place barriers around women’s access to agricultural land and empowerment. Women had a high positive attitude to the variables on; interest in contributing to household, understanding of food security and socio-economic development. Men own land and livestock at household level, livestock for women were realized through payment of the bride prize. The country was not food secured, 68% of the household could not afford three meals per day, malnutrition remains at 9% and the four dimension of food security were averaging 23.25%. Given equal treatment, women could produce high crop yield and can play role in food processing, in nutrition, gardening and agricultural cooperatives. Farming and agricultural policies need to address factors that were affecting the potential of women in improving food security. This would help in fully utilization of the roles of women in providing and improving household food security and reduce hunger and malnutrition in the rural communities. Noted implications of not involving and empowering women in agriculture was food insecurity in the rural communities as food availability, accessibility, utilisation and stability was to achieved year around in the communities.

1) The paper presents a probability analysis of slope stability using the Monte Carlo simulation method to account for uncertainty in parameters like pore water pressure, cohesion, and internal angle of friction.
2) The results of the Monte Carlo simulation method are compared to other recognized methods of slope stability analysis like Bishop simplified, Fellenuis, Janbu simplified and corrected, Spencer and Lowe-Karafiath which use limit equilibrium.
3) The probability analysis finds that the failure probability is most affected by the standard deviation of pore water pressure, cohesion, internal angle of friction, and correlation coefficient between parameters, though individual limit equilibrium methods only account for one of these parameters in each analysis.

This document summarizes an abstract from the 9th International Scientific Conference on Applied Sciences and Engineering. The abstract discusses some biochemical markers that can predict pre-eclampsia. It states that tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) directly damages vascular endothelial cells and increases endothelial permeability, which may result in secretion of vasoactive substances and increased vascular permeability and coagulation. This involvement of TNF-α in the pathogenesis of pre-eclampsia means it may identify patients at high risk for the condition and serve as a marker of severity. Preeclamptic women also have abnormal lipid metabolism and profiles due to pre-eclampsia, and this alteration in lipid metabolism may play a key role in developing symptoms.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Economic Empowerment of Rural Women in Developing Countries: Hands on Training on Horticultural Produce
- 1. Abstract of Emerging Trends in Scientific Research, 2014, Vol.2 DOI: 10.18488/journal.1002/2014.2/1002.2 2nd International Conference on Emerging Trends in Scientific Research 1-2 November, 2014 Pearl International Hotel, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Conference Website: www.pakrdw.com 17 Paper ID: 15/14/2 nd ICETSR Economic Empowerment of Rural Women in Developing Countries: Hands on Training on Horticultural Produce NagaLaxmi M Raman1 1 Ph.D Research Scholars, Amity Institute of Social Sciences, Amity International Centre for Post Harvest Technology and Cold Chain Management, Amity University Uttar Pradesh, Noida Abstract Empowering rural women is crucial for ending hunger and poverty. By denying women rights and opportunities, we deny their children and societies a better future. Gender inequality and limited access to credit, healthcare and education have posed a number of challenges for rural women. Meanwhile, the global food and economic crisis and climate change have only aggravated the situation. Some 925 million people go hungry every day. Women are also strong contributors to the economy, and form a large proportion of the agricultural work force globally. FAO estimates if women farmers (43 per cent of the agricultural labour force in developing countries) have the same access as men to agricultural resources, this could increase production on women’s farms in developing countries by 20-30 per cent, and potentially reduce the number of hungry people in the world by 100 to 150 million people. Majority of the village population in developing countries like India earn their subsistence from agriculture and this is not enough to provide a good source of income for their livelihood. The optimum utilization of horticultural produces (vegetables and fruits) cultivated would help to increase their source of income and hence, improve their standard of living. Entrepreneurship development and income generating activities are a feasible solution especially for empowering women. It generates income and also provides flexible working hours according to the needs of homemakers. Economic independence is the need of the hour. Participation in income generating activities helps in the overall empowerment of women. Thus to investigate the empowerment of women through entrepreneurial activities of self- help groups, this particular research was conducted with the specific objective to investigate the empowerment. Employment generating schemes in rural areas providing preferential treatment to poor women workers may prove to be a good move in this direction, but it needs a definite preconceived development strategy and pattern. Growth itself does not guarantee gender equality and women empowerment. Indian rural economy is also experiencing behavior of entrepreneurial. Empowering women by enhancing their livelihood by making them adopt simple technology of postharvest management of fruits and vegetables. A case study at Ghaziabad district, Uttar Pradesh, India encouraging the women to become an entrepreneur is not a simply adoption of new technology but it is transformation of technology to rural sector.
