Study of the Challenges before Women Farmers

Women play a vital role in Indian agriculture, yet they continue to face numerous social, economic, and agricultural challenges. The present study focuses on understanding the problems and challenges faced by women farmers working in rural areas, particularly in Malshiras Tahasil. The study adopts a survey method, using a self-designed interview schedule to collect data from 20 women farmers and 20 family members through purposive sampling. The findings reveal that women farmers face multiple difficulties such as uncertainty of rainfall, inadequate irrigation facilities, economic constraints, lack of modern agricultural knowledge, early marriage, limited awareness of government schemes, and the burden of managing both household and farm responsibilities. Despite these challenges, women farmers demonstrate strong dedication and commitment to agricultural work. The study highlights the need for proper education, skill development, technological support, and government assistance to empower women farmers and improve their socio-economic conditions. The research concludes that targeted interventions and policy support can significantly reduce the challenges faced by women farmers and enhance agricultural productivity.
