Dairy farming offers an important outlet for women's participation in economic activities. Tending and cleaning animals and their sheds, cutting grass and preparing fodder are some of the activities carried out in such cooperatives. An attempt to inject professionalism, as well as, to provide first lessons in women's empowerment has been made by Support to Training and Employment Programme (STEP) introduced by the Ministry of Human Resource Development. The present study shows that while dairy cooperatives in Karnataka have performed better compared to their counterpart in Andhra, the divergence is more marked in the case of cooperatives benefiting from STEP. This is true in regard to generation of output like supply of milk, value of milk poured everyday and supply of inputs like fodder, cow dung and grass also. Lastly the study shows that STEP helps in improving a non-quantifiable variable namely women's empowerment. Autonomy in decision making increases at both home and professional fronts due to this special training.- Valedictory Address

1 went for my first field investigation in 1957 to a fishing village near Palghat, the Satpathi. I still remember that it was a survey connected with the marketing of fresh fish. It was a study sponsored by FAO. I have got quite happy memories of that study. I actually stayed on the beach, in the fisherman's hut and even shared the food because the only way 10 catch the fishermen for interviews was to catch them at the dead of night, when they would come back with their catch. Early morning they would go again. You would not find them in the houses at all in the main village.- Development of the Scheduled Castes: A Systemic View

I am grateful to the organisers of this seminar for inviting me to participate in the seminar and give the keynote address. I intend to share with you the perceptions I have on the theme of changing development status of the scheduled castes and the prospects in this respect in the coming years. As constituents of a developing society, the scheduled castes suffer from the double handicap of low social status coupled with low occupational status. The low social status has been an outcome of their exposure over a historical past to domination by the mainstream castes - particularly by the rural landowning elites - in the economic and social spheres.- The Technical Constraint in the Programmes for Farm Employment
