GENDER ISSUES Gender Means the socially constructed

differences in roles and responsibilities assigned to women and men in a given culture or location and the societal structures that support them.

Gender Role The role refers to the activities performed by men and women in different situations and in different times and within the different cultures, classes, castes, ethnic groups etc.

Gender Analysis Gender analysis is a tool to better understand the realities of the women and men, whose lives are impacted by planned development .

These include gender issues with respect to social relations; activities; access and control over resources, services, institutions of decision-making and networks of power and authority and needs, the distinct needs of men and women, both practical and strategic.

 Strategic Gender Interests Strategic gender needs are the needs women identify because of their subordinate position to men in their society. These vary according to particular context.

They relate to gender division of labour, power & control and may include such issues as legal rights, domestic violence, equal wages etc. meeting strategic needs helps women to achieve greater equality. It also changes existing role and therefore challenges women’s sub-ordinate position.

Gender Discrimination :Unfavourable treatment of individuals on the basis of their gender.

Gender Mainstreaming Mainstreaming, a gender perspective, is the process of assessing the implications for women and men of any planned action, including legislation, policies and programmes, in all areas and at all levels.

It is a strategy for making women’s, as well as men’s concerns and experiences, an integral dimension of the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of policies and programmes in all political, economic and societal spheres so that women and men benefit equally and inequality is not perpetuated.

How does central government help this projects !!! IMPLEMENTATION

TOWARDS CULTURE , TOWARDS SOCIETY , TOWARDS MANKIND , TOWARDS SUSTAINABILITY .

TOWARDS CULTURE The priorities being given is to ensure

capacity building support to the elected members and officials of Panchayati Raj institution , which will significantly enhance their performance.

Panchayat training must promote a culture of oneness among panchayati leaders and officials , through exposure visits and interaction between people to people as well as peer to peer .

TOWARDS SOCIETYThe poorest and marginalised sections need

to be enlightened and empowered through participatory planning process , so that they can actively participate in the planning , implementing and monitoring process .

TOWARDS MANKIND The voices of most vulnerable in the society

will be heard in decision making and the rural administration will be responsive to the present and future needs of the rural population .

Its democracy to be truly empowering a individual women engaged in agriculture .

TOWARDS SUSTAINABILITYSustainable agricultural development rests on the

partnership between man and land.

Sustainability cannot be achieved without the partnership between men and women. They are like two wheels of a cart and together only they can move towards progress.

The country has achieved much progress in agricultural and the growth can be further accelerated only by harnessing all resources including the human resource, fifty percent of which is women.

CONCLUSIONEmpowerment of individual women in agri

sectors would create new demand and pressures on quality services and only on effective governance system alone can manage these new demand.

So , women are being given the main priorities. Rural Governance does not occur by chance it must be demanded.

“Nature gave women too much power; the law giving them too little”.

SUGGESTION

in villages to educate the women farmers & train them

which will lead to women empowerment. Strict checking towards gender inequality in

villages should be done by the govt.
