An attempt was made in this study to know the value orientation of Lambani women towards scientific farming, girls education and family planning and association between value orientation and selected independent variables, considering 200 randomly selected Lambani women in Shirahatti and Ranebennur Talukas of Haveri district. A vast majority of Lambani women had higher value orientation towards scientific farming. Whereas, majority had low value orientation with respect to family planning and girls education. Age, family size and size of land holdings of respondents were significantly associated with the value orientation towards girls education. Cleaning the house, serving food and child care works were done by all the women folk. Except chilli transplanting, all other agriculture operations were performed by women.
