Contribution Of Tribal Farm women In Animal Husbandry Activities

The Integrated Tribal Development Project, Dahod (ITDP Dahod) is one of the ITDP areas of Gujarat state which came in to existence on 17th June 1976 with the objectives to narrow the gap between the level of development of tribal and other areas of the State and to increase the income from agriculture & allied fields and thereby improve the quality of life of the tribal farmers. The tribal farmwoman shares with her husband the arduous burden of farm work in addition to her major responsibility as home maker, by helping in all other animal husbandry activities. Keeping this fact in mind, the present study was carried out to find out the extent of contribution of tribal farmwomen in animal husbandry activities. The result of the study revealed that most frequent activity preformed by the tribal farmwomen was milking among all twenty animal husbandry activities. With reference to overall extent of contribution of the tribal farmwomen in animal husbandry activities, slightly more than three-fifth of the respondents were found in medium contribution group and about one-third of the respondents were found in high contribution group.
