Abstract: Women are the backbone of the agricultural workforce and are a vital part of nation’s economy. Over the years, there is a gradual realization of the key role of women in agricultural development and their contribution in the field of agriculture, food security, horticulture, dairy, nutrition and other allied sectors. Women comprise the majority of the agricultural labourers and put themselves in labour not only in terms of physical output but also in terms of quality and efficiency. Based on the 2011 census, 37% of the total number of agricultural workers in the country are women and by 2020, this figure is expected to be about 45%. The involvement of women in enhancing the livelihood for their family can also not be neglected. Hence propagation of various renewable energy gadgets needs to be popularized among the farm women for livelihood improvement.
