The women’s contribution in the farming sector with respect to participation and decision making has largely been ignored. Though women performed more than four-fifth of agricultural work, their decision were accepted less than one-third of the case. The objective of present study were to find out women and their role in farming decision. The present study was conducted in Barmer district of Rajasthan. There are 3 block namely Barmer, Sheo, Chohtan. Forty women from each block were selected randomly thus making a total sample of 120 were interviewed with structure interviewed schedule. Results revealed that the male member of the family participated in decision making process of farm activities. This is not surprising because the joint family system is still prevalent where women have no role to play in decision making. In case of selection of seeds, quality of seeds, type of pesticide, time of harvesting, vaccination, calving of animals, foods of animals, maintenance of agricultural equipment, applying fertilizer, all decision were taken by elder person of the family. In all these cases women’s decision was almost negligible. Further, more than 50 per cent of decision in the area of home science were taken by the women such as preservation of fruits and vegetables, food to be cooked, income of the family, saving in the family and child care practices. Further it showed that although women earned and saved the money by working in the field but their decisions were still centered to the kitchen only. It was also concluded that in financial matter, the involvement of women was less.Keywords

Krishi Vigyan Kendra conducted front line demonstration on moth bean variety RMO- 435 at farmer’s fields in district Barmer during years 2015-2017. The productivity and economic returns of moth bean in demonstrated plots were calculated and compared with the corresponding local check. The data obtained was pooled for three years. It was observed that on an average 39.15 per cent higher grain yield was recorded in demonstration plots than the local check. The extension gap, technology gap and technology index were 1.32q/ha, 3.32 q/ha and 41.46 per cent, respectively. An additional investment of Rs.854/ha coupled with scientific monitoring of demonstration and non-monetary factors resulted in additional return of Rs. 5843.33/ha over the farmers practices. Fluctuating minimum selling price of moth bean during different years influenced the economic returns per unit area (Singh et al., 2005).Keywords

On the basis of the above findings it could be concluded that the training course was effective in terms of increasing the existing knowledge of the Practicing farm women about different livelihood aspects, which would certainly help them in dissemination of information among the Practicing farm women (Parkash and De, 2008 and Rai and Singh, 2010).Keywords
