Women are involved both in production as well as in processing of paddy crops. The role of farm women in paddy cultivation practices is remarkable. Female labourers contributed significantly to the economic well-being of their families, hence, the level of income and welfare of a household will depend on the degree of their effective participation. Hence, the study is on ‘role of farm women in paddy cultivation practices’.
