Rural women in India as well as in most of developing countries have been a neglected lot. They have not been actively involved in the main stream of development, even though they represent a major section of population and labour force. They are invisible workers and their share of contribution is not duly recognized. In Indian society, women are the providers of nutrition within the household but themselves are affected by malnutrition. The advent of green revolution in punjab has brought overall prosperity to its peasantry.

Abstract


Rural women in India as well as in most of developing countries have been a neglected lot. They have not been actively involved in the main stream of development, even though they represent a major section of population and labour force. They are invisible workers and their share of contribution is not duly recognized. In Indian society, women are the providers of nutrition within the household but themselves are affected by malnutrition. The advent of green revolution in punjab has brought overall prosperity to its peasantry.
