Women play important role for the development of any economy, women's contribute to two- thirds of the world's work hours and produce 50 per cent of the world's food supplies, account for 60 per cent of the work force and contribute up to 30 per cent of the official lab our fore (1996). Women constituted 38% of the agricultural labour force in developing countries. It is also estimated that 45.3% of the agricultural labour force consists of women. But a large number of women have remained as "invisible workers". Since there has been concern expressed regarding the gap between women's actual economic participation and public perception of it several researchers have attempted to overcome this invisibility through gendered empirical research studies for using on gender analysis and gender roles. This piece of research is highlighting the trend of female participation in agriculture across various Indian states.
