Abstract
The results revealed that the neoliberal economic policies both feminization and defeminisation was observed in India but when it comes to the rural female workforce participation rates, there was a steady reduction which may be accounted for the difficulty of women to find productive work within their household premises. Rural women in India are willing to accept work at their household premises related to dairying and animal husbandry. Hence, dairy could come over as an important sector in making rural women empowered and improving their self-reliance status. There is an urgent need to correct gender biasedness for the empowerment of rural women. Recognition and support of women’s roles as livestock owners, processors, etc. need to be strengthened along with their decision-making capabilities, which would promote the women’s economic and social empowerment providing a way to break the viciousness of poverty.
