| Abstract: | A
study on the participation on the women in forestry and livestock activities in
the arid region of India was
undertaken with special reference to nine villages of Jaisalmer district in Western Rajasthan. Households were selected on random
sampling method. The survey was carried out with an objective to study women
participation in agricultural, forestry, livestock, economic activities and
household activities. Study reveals that women participation in livestock
activities is between 60 and 80% whereas, in household activities contribution
is almost 100 per cent. It was found that financial matters (i.e marketing and
procurement of seeds / animals etc) are solely managed by the male members of
the society. The research paper deals with the contribution of women in
agricultural, forestry and household activities. |
