Empowerment of Women in Agriculture

“Empowerment with women” is the central issue that has been pervading the development debate after the 80s. Improving their status and empowering them would go a long way in accomplishing egalitarian gender relations in society. Women who are hitherto constrained by their social structure for their self-expression constitute the target of most of the development programmes, which aim at bringing them into the mainstream of the development process.
