Abstract:
Agriculture plays a crucial role in the livelihoods of rural communities, with women laborers forming a significant part of the workforce. The empowerment of these women is essential not only for improving their socio-economic status but also for enhancing agricultural productivity and sustainability. Empowerment in this context involves ensuring that women have access to resources, can participate in decision-making processes, and have control over the income generated from their labor. To understand the levels of empowerment among agricultural women laborers, this study focuses on six villages from the Manchal and Yacharam Mandals in the Ranga Reddy district: Bodakonda, Korravani Thanda, Thallapallyguda, Chowderpally, Gungal, and Gaddamallaiahguda.
