摘要：Women play a significant and crucial role in agriculture. They undertake various activities in agriculture such ascleaning of fields, field preparation, sowing, intercultural practices, weeding, harvesting, picking, cleaning of grains, drying ofgrains etc. But it is unfortunate that they remain invisible workers. However, their involvement as decision- makers regardingthese activities is questionable. Hence the present study was conducted to determine the contribution of farm women in decision-making in agriculture. A total of 120 farm women were selected as respondents through multistage random sampling technique.Relevant data were collected with the help of personal interview technique. The data were analyzed using appropriate statisticaltools. Analysis of the data showed that involvement of farm women in decision- making process in agriculture was very low.
