The plight of the women workers is reported worse in the small scale industries. Bead making, a small scale enterprise, is commonly practiced in North-Western part of Haryana where bead making from wood is the main source of livelihood for more than 70 per cent of the households in Mangali village. All the family members have been involved in various activities of bead making. However, women’s involvement was higher in making beads and string (mala) making (Gandhi et al., 2017) who spend 8-12 hours daily for bead string making at one rupee per string. Seasonal calendar and activity profiles of 50 purposively selected women from Surtiya Panchayat of Mangali village were recorded for the assessment of the working hours of the women involved in bead string making. The work-rest ratio of the average respondents in minutes was calculated to be 20:3, which was not satisfactory for the long hours sitting work. Trainings with time management, bead products like jewelry making, curtains, bead vases, and other bead craft techniques was given to the women for eight months at intermittent intervals. The similar work is recommended to be introduced on large scale and a proper channel can be devised to sell the products and benefit the enterprise. More time management trainings need to happen at village levels to reduce the unnecessary drudgery of the rural women and employ their precious time in quality and productive works. This will ensure that the diverse designs and market colour trends would have wide range of customers resulting in good returns for the bead making enterprise.Keywords

Designers of Agricultural products have major playing roles to keep trying to uplift the agricultural sector dignity by producing innovative design insights. Product designers work alongside engineers and model makers to conduct research and device an accurate design proposal for projects. Agricultural excellence could be attained through technological advancement and innovation in design. The major implications of an innovative product development postures for the agricultural research organization and management along with the role of design function in innovation development. The appropriate agricultural technologies harmonize with the environment, maximize and minimize its benefit and harmful effects, respectively while requiring an intelligent balance of labour-intensive and capital-intensive parts of technologies. The intensive innovation activity nowadays in agricultural sector is becoming an essential part of development and considered as a major factor in the contribution to the production development and efficiency in the market economy. The shaping and advancing strategy of the innovation system is aimed at assimilating the novelties making it possible to launch new production technological structure and to ensure competitiveness of enterprises both domestically and internationally in markets. New product development in agricultural risk management using integrated approach should be made to crop insurance improvement so that farmers are drawn to adopt innovative technologies and designers are motivated to design new for no loss of uncertainties of future marketing.Keywords
