Abstract
The study has analysed the impact of membership of women in dairy co-operative society on their income and employment. The study has been conducted in Begusarai district of Bihar by collecting data from 80 member and 80 non-member milk producing households which were stratified into small ( 6) herd size categories. Monthly income from both crossbred cows and buffaloes has been found to be more in WDCS members than non-members. The impact of season on income has also been found to be positive and significant, indicating higher income in winter than summer season. The average annual employment has been observed more for member households than non-member households. In terms of time, the maximum time was spent in bringing fodder from fields both in WDCS members and non-member households.
