Abstract

A survey based study was carried out to know the participation of rural women in various activities at Hoshiarpur district of Punjab state. A simple random sampling technique was used in the selection of dairy farm women using interview schedule by personal interview for sample size of 150 rural women in Mahilpur and Bhunga block of Hoshiarpur district. The data revealed that the participation of majority of women was high in activities such as cleaning of cattle shed, watering, milking, feeding the animals and disposal of cow dung. The farm women participation was least in dairy related record maintenance, getting loans or credits from the banks, taking animals for grazing, fodder collection and harvesting the fodder crops. Thus there is need to educate them about scientific management practices for increasing livestock production.
