Agricultural developments with the infusion of science and
technology since the last century, has ignored women's role in
agriculture. Although they are involved in all aspects from crop
selection to land preparation, seed selection, planting, weeding,
pest control, harvesting, crop storage, handling, marketing, and
processing the productive force, rural development policies rarely
take into account their needs and problem. Recent developments in
the social, economic and technological areas have important effects
on the rural women across Asia. Under this background this book is
intended to study the gender specific participation scenario in
agriculture of the state wise population data of India as well as
districts of West Bengal. Trend models are fitted to estimate the
growth pattern. Status of male and female Cultivators versus
Agricultural Labours of different states of India is also studied.
Work Participation Rate and Compound Growth Rate are determined.
Further, ranking is made for all the states of India and the
districts of West Bengal based on Average WPR.To get the states of
identical behaviour in Indian agriculture Hierarchical clustering
is done.
