Agricultural entrepreneurial trades have been playing a commendable role in empowering the rural women economically and socially. Besides providing employment and additional household income, these trades have been facilitating the women traders to enhance their social status both at homes and in the society. This research has captured how the agricultural trades of women entrepreneurs have been sustained over the years in rural environment. Also, it identified various backward and forward linkages of the entrepreneurial trades with selected parameters like self-employment, income generation, social status of the women, etc. The paper has brought to the fore a number of major supply failures of the public policy as well as demand side constraints and offered policy options for the effective and sustainable rural women entrepreneurial trades.Full Text

Agriculture sector in India has been beset with conspicuous problems like declining area of cultivation, productivity and increasing cost of cultivation. These problems have caused a serious threat to household income of farming community. Macro Management of Agricultural Schemes (MMASs) is one of the corrective interventions, implemented successfully throughout the country in the last decade, including the State of Karnataka. The experience of the State clearly indicates a multi-pronged positive impact on the agriculture sector and benefited all sizes of the farmers. There have been increases in the area, yield and productivity under the scheme apart from a significant decline in the cost of cultivation due to adoption of new techniques, which contributed to the increasing household income of the farmers. However, farmers have been bogged down by a number of new problems associated with the scheme and correspondingly, the paper offers a number of policy alternatives to the scheme for effective implementation.Full Text
