Abstract The importance of agriculture in economic development of any country, rich or poor is borne out by the fact that it is the primary sector of the economy, which provides the basic ingredients necessary for the existence of mankind and also provides most of the raw materials which when transformed into finished products serve as basic necessities of the human race. In India, agriculture is the largest sector of economic activity. Agricultural labourers who are mostly landless and form a significant section of rural society mainly depend on wage employment in agriculture. Finally, agricultural labourer is hardly ever covered by any rules and regulations. Law, if at all it exists is flouted more often than it is observed. In brief, it may be observed that the situation of an agricultural labourer differs substantially from that of an industrial labourer; he is an unorganized lot, his bargaining power is weak, and generally, the supply of agricultural labourer exceeds its demand. Our objectives to analyse the social characteristics of women agricultural labourers, analyse the living conditions of women agricultural labourers, study the trends in the number of employment days available to women agriculture labourers, find out the extent of wage differentiates between male and female agricultural labourers and study the differences of educational attainments of male and female agricultural labourers. The data on women agricultural labourers covers a period of one year from January 2022 to December 2022. so as to include both the busy as well as lean seasons in agriculture.
