In over all farm production, women's average contribution is estimated about 55%. In addition to their role in agricultural production, women are gainfully employed in agro- based allies activities like dairying, animal husbandry, poultry, rabbit rearing, beekeeping, vermiculture, floriculture, horticulture, fruit preservation, post-harvest technology, value added food products, etc. Empowerment of women by micro entrepreneurship led to the empowerment of women in many ways. |
