Historicity

Women play a significant and crucial role in Agricultural development. The nature of women’s involvement in agriculture is changing very greatly from region to region, caste to caste and also by economical and social status. The women from land holder families contribute on their own farms, but the women from the landless family, mostly the lower cast (SC, ST), used to work on daily wages on others farms.
