Abstract

weeding activity performed by farm women using newly introduced and traditional tools. The study included a sample of

be a useful implementation for reducing the drudgery of farm women with increased output. The interest of farm women

this group of women beneficiaries for their empowerment was organized to impart knowledge and skill of improved farm
tools. The wheel hoe is found highly acceptable tool as compared to traditional khurpi. Twin wheel hoe was perceived
