Abstract

The World bank statistics of 2018 indicates the percentage of agricultural land in India which is 60.43%. The calculation of workforce in the agricultural area amounts to 55%, out of which the share of women is 33% as agricultural labor force. Also, the percentage of women as a self-employed farmer is 48% in India.  The growth of women has always been expanding in this sector. The Institute of Human Development (IHD) reports of 2014 reflects that the women engaged in the household level has increased to 70% due to male migration to urban areas for work. The Economic Survey of 2017-18 has termed the situation of male migration as ‘feminization of agriculture’ due to the women’s active participation rates.
