COORDINATING MEMBER’S VISION…

Women in Agriculture

Agriculture, which contributes about one third to the country’s national income, is no more an-all-men affair. It employs about four-fifths of all the economically active women in the country. One-third of the farm-labour force constitutes women. Dairying as an enterprise, engages 75 million women as against 15 million men thus ensuring a 5 fold increase in gender participation in this primary sector of Indian economy.

Role of rural women have been pivotal in agriculture due to the shifting trend of female headed households. More and more of male labour force being attracted towards non farm high pay activities, about 35 percent of the rural families are headed by females which paves their way for independent production decisions and enhanced self-involvement.

Disparities in acquisition of land rights, access to credits, farm inputs, extension, training and social participation of women persists for some inherent legal, social and institutional factors in spite of their vital contributions to the Indian socio-economy. Prevailing agricultural extension system largely by-passes women farmers by way of contacting only the male farmers; non-recruitment of female extension agents as well as being non-committal towards gender friendly program and trainings.

A variety of approaches like the use of electronic media (Radio & TV), more of field demonstrates and printed hand outs and exposure study visits to successful women – led sites through individual contact supported by group contact methods would be the best bet. NGOs like Alternative for Rural Movement (ARM) and its associates in the coastal Orissa are not sparing any effort to sensitize the local administration in doing the needful. All this necessitates an immediate capacity building of both public functionaries and NGOs for the purposes. Recognition of the potentials of women force in agricultural transformation and reorientation of agricultural/ rural extension to focus on the whole family participation in farm entrepreneurship are in fact the singled out fulustic farm extension strategies.

Present compendium of our activities is nothing but a pervasive account of how best poor and backward women could be organized, guided involved and made to stand and shine amidst very many socio economic inhibitions. ARM is increasingly consolidating its efforts towards women in agriculture activities to boost up their emancipation and entrepreneurial aspirations. I invite the cooperation of all my people, partners, planners and peer organizations to this noble sum up.

In spite of gradual improvement in health status over many years, preventable mortality and morbidity in Orissa are high. The root cause of poor health continue to be poverty, social deprivation, lower levels of literacy, inefficient health systems and lack of infrastructure for health care and disease control socio cultural inequalities and barriers, insufficient assertion and demand for health care, inadequate geography spread of service outlets and poor quality health care reduce access to effectiveness of public services. Women, children and tribal cum backward communities of 12 villages covering 18,972 population of Paschimabad and Baiganbadia Gram Panchayat of Jaleswar block suffer from poor health. ARM has been managing the Primary Health Centre at Paschimbad for last 6 years under PPP mode with active support of local public as well as financial support from NRHM, Govt. of Odisha. The goal of NRHM is thus to improve the availability of and access to quality health care by people especially for those residing in rural area, the poor women and children being the priority.
