A total of 100 farm women were selected from four villages namely Harpur, Mahmadda, Gorai and Madhurapur from the Samastipur district of Bihar. Structured interview scheduled, personal observations and analysis of records were used to collect information for the study. The findings revealed that women in the study area were engaged in farming activities such as crop production, storage of grains and rearing of livestock. Traditional technology is still in the practice among women farmers in the study area. Majority of the women sampled were marginal farmers with low level of income and education. The study found that majority of women farmers take credit from their personal savings (35%) or local moneylenders (20%). Lack of credit constrained them from investing in agricultural production.
