Abstract

Indian farm women perform triple roles and grow 60 to 80 per cent of food crops. They also face a number of issues in agriculture. Therefore, government has formulated and implemented many women welfare schemes to address those issues. But, in real sense, most of the schemes do not reach at women's door. Neither the women are aware of the schemes nor they availed any kind of benefits out of it. The study made on impact of ATMA on livelihood of rural women reveals that, all levels of stakeholders involved in ATMA system are not gender sensitive who unknowingly bypass the women in the process. Therefore, societal stereotypes towards women has to be changed through gender sensitization programmes and participatory action plan based on women needs and preferences.
