Abstract

Agriculture is one of the important and crucial occupations in Andhra Pradesh. More than 66 per cent of population is involved in agriculture and allied activities in the state. Women's participation in agricultural activities has been continuously growing compared to that of men which not only implies increased dependence of women on agricultural sector but also reiterates their crucial role in the sustainable growth and future of the farm sector. In other words changes in relation to economic and social changes have crept in the villages since the launch of the liberalization, privatization and globalization (LPG). Youth in the villages in Andhra Pradesh have been migrated to the towns and cities to eke out livelihood and joined the construction works and other menial works. As a result of it, the role of women in rural India has become multiple and their share in the agriculture workforce has increased since 1991.
