Abstract

The study aimed to find out the socio economic conditions of agricultural women labour and to examine the pattern of income, expenditure and savings of agricultural women labour of Thirukandeeswaran Panchayath. The nature of study is descriptive. A questionnaire was used for collection of data. The study find out that more than two-thirds of the population of India is dependent on agriculture. Though Green Revolution technologies enhanced agricultural productivity, they also widened economic disparities and deepened gender discrimination in community life. The introduction of capital intensive technologies in the agricultural sector has had differential impact on men and women and women have been adversely affected due to lack of access to technology. Agriculture is the back bone of many developing countries. Women account for more than half of the work force by participating in different activities, either directly or indirectly. The gender division of labor varies from one society and culture to another, and within each culture external circumstances influence the level of activity. Muhammed Atheeque. P. P | B.
