Popis: More than 60% of the population works in agriculture, which is the economic backbone of India. About half of the population is women, and in developing nations like India, their contributions are vital. Prior to improving the status of women, a nation cannot prosper. The majority of households in rural areas of the nation have no other source of income; 70% of these households are dependent on agriculture and sectors that are related to it. In rural India, women play a crucial role. Their effects can be seen throughout the entire agricultural sector, including crop growing, the production of fruits and vegetables, and other associated operations. Caste, education, annual income, housing type, type of land ownership, and interactions with extension workers were shown to be positively significant at the 1% level of agriculture involvement, whereas age was found to be adversely significant at the 5% level. The data showed that the top three restrictions on the farm women's experimentation were found to be a lack of money, a lack of land ownership, and a lack of education.
