Globally women constitute almost half of the human resource and are the pivot around whom the family the society and the whole humanity moves. The prosperity growth of nation is measured by the status and development of its women as they not only constitute half of its population, but also influence the growth of remaining half of the population. Since time immemorial women are found to be involved in farm production in addition to their sole responsibility of managing their homes. On the basis of the literature reviewed and observations on women's multiple roles, it was found that Women made significant contribution in the home agriculture and allied sectors.Women's participation varies with income, size of family, geographic location, agricultural seasons stage of family life cycle and caste ,Women exclusively performed non-skilled drudgery prone agriculture and allied activities.Household work was exclusively considered as women's work. Women wage labourers are much higher in number than men .Women's economic contribution has been ignored. Women are greatly burdened with multiple responsibilities of home, farm, animal care, reproduction and child rearing .The long house of work put in by women in fulfilling their multiple roles hardly leave any time for leisure and also have adverse affect on their health, mental and physical.
