Abstract

In Tamil Nadu state of India decentralised planning has been strongly entrenched in society since late 1990s. With experience spread over a decade and half in this regard the state has to its credit many innovative approaches in the agricultural sector which have left a lasting impact on the community. When it comes to sustainability, scaling up of a large number of factors come into play. The study was conducted in Tirunelveli district of Tamil Nadu state using a two stage random sampling procedure. A total of 120 farm women were included in the study. The most important constraint faced by farm women in starting self-employment was the lack of sufficient financial assistance followed by lack of irrigation facilities, crop losses, lack of good quality planting material, lack of marketing facilities and lack of technical knowledge.
