The paper examines the participation of rural women in home and farm activities in the Nasik
district, Maharashtra. It indicates that invisibility of the majority of women, who act as unpaid
workers on the family. Care of livestock is a female domain but as agricultural workers are
becoming modernized, women are losing control of both management and economic returns. The
level of improved household technology is very unsatisfactory, more especially in backward areas
where the majority of women are still working with age-old tools. The paper suggests a number of
rural women, whose working day is often considerably longer than that of men. Nasik district were
selected for the study. In Nasik district, rural area the economy is primarily based on agricultural
and other activities.

outside at the house, but their contribution does not
receive due recognition.
The study also shows that women can
lack of technical knowledge about agriculture,
livestock and small industrial production because
they tend to be more connected and communicative
among them. Women that took part in the research
showed a gregarious profile, a result of the exchange
of experiences and information with their neighbors
and consultants, emphasizing rural succession and
family inclusion in the business.
The Women’s Development Fund is a
revolving fund meant to promote economic
development of women at grassroots level. In the
study region women’s different occupations are
observed at the time of survey. The primary data
of 1995-2015 were collected by sample survey
method with the help of questionnaires through
personal interview.
