Abstract

Farm women are considered an 'invisible work force ' in agriculture even though they participate in most of the agricultural operations. In the changing scenario of agricultural development, dissemination of need based and location specific technologies to farm women assumes greater importance. For consistent growth of agricultural production, stabilization of income in agriculture, it is necessary to involve women in increased adoption of improved farm practices. This could be attained through effective training and extension programmes specially designed and based on technological felt needs of farm women through which their behaviour can be changed in a desired direction, production and productivity can be enhanced
