Women in our country share too many responsibilities and perform a wide variety of duties in running the family, maintaining the household, attending to labour and domestic animals and extending a helping hand in artisanship and handicrafts. In recent years, women in large numbers have joined the labour force and taken up paid employment. The women’s earnings are necessary for sheer survival and to support their families. It is inferred that flower vendors in the study area get an average annual income of Rs. 86390/. In the study area, almost all the flower vendors borrow money mainly for daily needs according to their capabilities and their average debt amount was Rs. 38836.
