Decision making of farm women in animal husbandry practices

Most of the advancing countries have rural women welfare development programmes in operation. However, their benefits are not evenly distributed because of failure on the part of the development planners and administrators to recognize participation of women's decision making in animal husbandry practices and the diversity of economic and other role played by farm women. It is hoped that the present research study would reveal some of the facts about the level decision of women in animal husbandry practices and the extent of their decision making pattern to livestock management and dairy practices. The findings of the study would certainly be helpful to planners and extension personnel from government and private agencies to plan out a suitable programme planning more successfully, systematically and on scientific lines for the women so that they were in a position to have a greater share with greater self confidence and responsibility in the development of dairy practices. The study will also guiding them to revise suitable strategies and modify the extension education approach using more appropriate personal, group and mass media in order to communicate useful dairy technology.
