Abstract
Based on the study it was seen that Farmwomen’s participation was seen highest in sowing, weeding and nipping / picking and threshing. Farmwomen took a self-decision for decoration of house (79.17 %) and selection and preparation of food (70.83 %) in case of home management. Farm management was dominated by husband decision and majority of the farm management decision was taken by their husbands, animal husbandry management was completely dominated by women’s self decision. The relationship between independent variables like age, education, herd size, land holding, family size and number of children of the respondents and their participation in crop husbandry was observed positively significant. Whereas the negative relationship was observed incase of occupation, type of family and age at marriage. The relation between independent variables of the respondents and their participation in animal husbandry was found negative for all of the independent variables except type of family only.
