Abstract:
The present study was undertaken to investigate efficiency increase of farm women in Rewa districts of Madhya Pradesh. Female labourers as well as cultivators were selected randomly as respondents. The results of the study show that cleaning and grading of harvest with the help of hanging sieve lead to increased efficiency and reduced drudgery ; which eventually improves farm women’s quality of life. The study recommends that extension officials should select drudgery reducing tools with a view to benefit both men and women so that they could perform their roles in agriculture efficiently, improve quality of life and thus increase their family income.
