Socially restriction for women

The main reason is male-dominant society.

They are engage in their household work likecooking, cleaning, child caring etc.

are not skilled or educated.

Summary &conclusion.

However, inhabitant of Paschim Simulia faced various problems in agriculture inagriculture and non-agriculture fields mention earlier, the common problems arelack of education, skill, training, knowledge of education, skill, training, knowledge, capital, proper rate of production communication.

The above mention constrains or limitation can be overcome through bettereducation, proper training and its timely application. Farmers should be gettingregular training about up to date eco-friendly, agro-technologies. It is needless tomention the basic idea behind training is to improve

Through Government concern &other NGOs hearty contribution theawareness about women & the rate of women participation in farm andnon-farm sector is looking a graceful position. Rural people are now verymuch conscious about overall improvement in their lifestyle & womens

status. They feel that women has potential to done easy &hard work in theequally to the men. For that the picture of womens participation in ruralIndia has become change. The women are now participate in a largenumber of agriculture as well as non-farm sector &social-political sector tohide their own position. Women are the source of flow less power tomanage home & outside of the home.
