Abstract
This study examines the constraints experienced by farm women while
participating in decision making and the nature and extent of participation of
farm women in decision making on farming. The constraints reported by the
respondents are of varied types and intensity. The findings revealed that lack of
time, lack of knowledge / information, poor economic status of the family, lack
of adequate help and support, secondary status of women in family, and fear of
failure were the important constraints faced by them. Majority of the farm
women had medium level of participation in decision making on farming.
