THOUGH WOMEN CONTRIBUTE substaintially to the economics of the family both by way of services rendered and wages earned , yet their potential is not duly recognised and very little attention is paid to involve them directly with developmental activities and enable them to become more effective and productive. In India,agriculture still provide 42% to 45% of gross domestic product and engages 68% of the working population. Of this latter figures again anything between 20 to 50 % depending upon the part of the country are working women, whose wages value of labour is either outright denied to women or squeezed out of reckoning or is fixed at much lower rates than for males even for equal or morenarduous physical labour like sowing or transplanting or hoeing. Some minimum education ts necessary for women to assimilate the of health care progammes, nutrition and diet , norms and values of scarce economic resources and adoption to simple technology to perform some of the routine agricltural tasks more effectively.

WOMENSHAKTI AND AGRICULTURE [3}
Womenshakti and agriculture (3)
In the adoption of new inputs e.g. High yielding variety seeds, fertilizers and pesticides in the I.A.D. scheme were best adopters and non participants not covered by the scheme were most backward. the soil testing had not become popular with the farmers . The dry land farmers adopted new technology as long as project continued but in the subsequent year they tended to revert back to their traditional system. This had happened even in cases where technology had shown high pay off. There was appositive association between the extent of farmer’s social status and their level of adoption of innovations. Women constitute about half of the population& therefore there can not be happiness and full development, so long as women remain depressed and exploited. One of the major causes for the exploitation of the female is their eonomic dependence upon men. The preamble to U. N. charter reaffirms faith in fundamental human person in the equal rights of men and women. Though women contribute substaintaintially
to the economi of the family both by way of services rendered and wages earned , yet their potential is not duly recognized and very littee attention is paid to involve them directly with
developmental activities and enable them to become more effective and productive.
The women’s participation in farm activity is directly re to the economic status. Earlier the women were not even allowed beyond the household , today the rules related allowing the women to come on to the outside of the house.While the economically lower class women even work on hired agricultural labourers.Thus the degree and level of participation of women in farm is related to the economic class. The role of tribal women context of their traditional economy and examines The impect of rural development on tribal women. Activities such as huntng and gathering postoralism shifting and settled cultivation , craft and plantation labour are considered.
