Abstract

Empowerment of women would mean equipping women to be economically independent and personally self-reliant with a positive self-esteem to enable them to face any difficult situation. Moreover, they should be able to contribute to the development activities of the country. For empowering women economically, we need to enlarge her choices and access to various opportunities and also build her capacity for taking up successfully income generating activities and compete favourably in the market. Women's role in agriculture is significant as more than 80 per cent of the economically active women are engaged in agriculture and allied activities. This trend still continues. It is fact that women grow half of the world's food but own hardly any land. The need of empowering women for rural development can hardly be under-estimated. Rural women should be empowered in all respects. That is why it requires a specific study to know the status of rural women at macro level. Women's share in various segments during census might be showing a low degree participation, however, in practice, women hold substantial share in the work force of various sectors viz. 90 per cent in informal sector, 70 per cent in agriculture sector, 35.33 per cent in allied sector, 46.1 per cent in the khadi village industries, 65.5 per cent in handloom and sericulture.

Abstract

The Indian modern country is fast emerging as a global power but only for half of its population. The women across the country continuously struggle to live life with dignity. Eve teasing is a ridiculous form of enjoyment for men and a physical as well as mental torment for women. This is one of the daily problems women in Indian society face. Of all the forms that violence against women can assume, eve teasing is the most ubiquitous and insidious because it is considered normal behaviour and not an assault to females. This paper provides an analysis of the magnitude of eve teasing and its relation to socio-economic factors. It also examines women's responses to this type of violence. The study was conducted among 200 respondents in Hisar district of Haryana State through survey method. The findings of the study elucidate that majority of respondents are victim of teasing for twice or more time. In educational institutions a significant number of respondents faced both oral and physical type of teasing.

Abstract

Gender discrimination can be upischolar_mained through empowerment of women and social awareness. By providing women the opportunity to take active part in socio, economic political and familial decisions this discrimination can be reduced. Women of our country have faced discrimination at all ages, now and hence forth this discrimination continues to exist in various forms. Any denial of equality, gender and opportunity on the bias of gender, is gender discrimination. Nature doesn't discriminate men from women. But women worldwide have been the victim's of inequality not only in terms of social and political rights but also on grounds of employment and opportunities. In the male dominant society women have become habituated of this discrimination. As a result, most women fail to understand their own rights and freedom.. Gender discrimination happens because people think that men are better than women. It seems obvious that women would want to change the system, but men are less likely to want to give up their positions of power However, when men take part in resisting gender discrimination-by treating women with respect. Data were collected from Chaudhriwas, Kalwas, Dahima, and Bhojraj villages of Hisar-1 and Hisar-11 blocks covered under Hisar district of Haryana State by selecting 200 Parents. This paper shows that role and responsibility among gender and decision making by parents for future prospectus to their children.

Abstract

The dowry system is a cultural system in India in which the parents of the bride pay a large sum of money, expensive jewellery and other gifts such as car or other household items to the parents of the groom during marriage. The social and cultural efforts of the dowry system are devastating to the society as a whole. Dowry is the result of long standing power in balance between men and women and thus seriously compromises the well being, productivity and contribution of one half the populations. Therefore it was important to bring to light the issues affecting women in this reason. Two hundred women were randomly selected from Karnal and Sirsa districts of Haryana and out of those of 39, who were affected the problem related to dowry in both reasons. It was found that more than half of respondents (51.28%) reported that dowry was demanded before marriage, 30.77% at the time of marriage while 17.95% demanded it after marriage. The maximum numbers of cases regarding dowry demand were made by their husbands (41.03%) in the form of vehicles, cash-money. Jewellery etc. The core reason for dowry was greed like purchase of motor vehicles, business expansion and employment. Customs and ritual were also found as main reason for dowry. Concerted efforts are required to curb violence against women regarding dowry in Haryana.

Abstract

Rural indebtedness has deep ischolar_mains in the country. The mounting burden of rural debt has crippled the rural economy. Agricultural strategies are mainly related to farmers with large land holdings. The facilities are not accessible to small and marginal farmers. These conditions adversely affected the small and marginal farmers as they are vulnerable to crop losses and price fall. They take loan to fulfill their agricultural and non-agricultural needs. Therefore, the issue of farmers' indebtedness becomes a matter of intense debate for whole of the country and as well as for Haryana. In this background, the present study was conducted to assess the status of farmers' indebtedness in the Southern region of Haryana State in detail. The results of the study indicate that an average amount of loan of Rs. 162087.00 was taken by respondents from institutional sources and non-institutional (Rs. 67865.00) for the purpose of agricultural and non-agricultural needs. It was suggested that respondents should be motivated for taking loan from institutional sources of loan and encouraged to adopt crop insurance scheme.

Abstract

Direct seeded rice (DSR), most likely older method of crop establishment, is gaining popularity because of its low-input demand. It offers certain advantages i.e. it saves labour, requires less water, less drudgery, early crop maturity, low production cost, better soil physical conditions for following crops and less methane emission, provides better option to be the best fit in different cropping systems. Comparative yields in DSR can be obtained by adopting various cultural practices like, selection of suitable cultivars, proper sowing time, optimum seed rate, proper weed and water management. It can also be stated that soil problems related to rice and following crops can be solved with direct seeding. There are several constraints associated with shift from PTR to DSR, such as high weed infestation, evolution of weedy rice, increase in soil borne pathogens, nutrient disorders, poor crop establishment, lodging, incidence of blast, brown leaf spot etc. By overcoming these constraints DSR can prove to be a very promising, technically and economically feasible alternative to PTR. The contextual matrix and constraints associated with adoption of DSR are discussed in this paper. The study was conducted in Kurukshetra district of Haryana state. From this district, two blocks namely Thanesar and Pehowa were selected randomly. The data presented that constraints regarding input and marketing perceived by respondents was high cost of seed and 'lack of marketing facilities in village1 ranked first constraint, respectively

The patriarchal canopy has always denied women the warm rays of autonomy and freedom. The in declinable gender biases have disfigured the very face o f humanity. The present study was conducted in the twelve village of two districts of Haryana state, i.e., Fatehabad and Sonipat having highest and lowest sex ratio. From each selected village 10 females and 10 males from 3rd generation (would be parents), 10 females and 10 males from 2nd generation (parents) and 5 females and 5 males from 1st generation (grandparents) were selected. In this way, from each village 25 females and 25 males were selected making a sample size o f600. A structured interview schedule was prepared to delineate the socio-economic factors affecting attitude over three generations towards girl child. The collected data were quantified and interpreted by using suitable statistical tools such as frequency and percentage, weighted mean score and chi-square test. Different factors like age, caste, family occupation and social participation were found associated with attitude as indicated by x2 results, showing the impact of social factors on attitude of respondents.

Abstract

Spirituality plays an important role in the lives of all peoples. It is one of the most important sources of strength and direction in people's lives. It is a human phenomenon, which exist in almost all persons. Well-being is a positive outcome that is meaningful for people and for many sectors o f society, because it tells us that people perceive that their lives are going well. Good living conditions (e.g., housing, employment) are fundamental to well-being.The perceptions of older peoples situation should not be and is not generally or inevitably problematic, but some people face considerable insecurity and a lack of well being in old age. Old age is viewed as an unavoidable, undesirable and problem ridden phase of life. Problems of aging usually appear after the age of 65 years. Result showed that all the elderly recognized the importance of spirituality in their lives, and its relationship with old age is in the capacity to bear the limitations, losses and difficulties that are inherent to the process, confronting the suffering involved. The influence of this capacity on Quality of Life is perceived, principally, in the Psychological Health domain, favoring the development of positive thoughts and feelings which give them high levels of satisfaction with their lives.

Organic Farming is the only way to protect ourselves and nature from deadly chemicals. Now a days among the farmers the knowledge and attitude about organic agriculture in India is increasing. So keeping in mind the importance of organic method verses conventional method and to keep the soil alive, a study was conducted among 120 organic and conventional farmers. The study was carried out in four districts of Haryana state namely Hisar, Bhiwani, Kaithal, and Sonepat to know the attitude and knowledge level along with factors associated with knowledge level. Results revealed that half of the organic respondents (50%) had medium knowledge level where as 33.34 % and 16.66 % of respondent had high and low knowledge level respectively where as 48.33% of conventional farmers had medium knowledge and 38.33% and 13.34% were having low and high knowledge level respectively. Attitude of the farmers regarding organic farming showed that pest pressure was major problem in organic farming, got rank I, food security and health can attained through organic, rank II and organic was comparative complex than conventional got ranked III with weighted mean score 2.61, 2.55,2.41 respectively.

Abstract

After harvesting the paddy with a combine harvester equipped with a Super Seeder attachment, the Super Seeder machine's primary job is to simultaneously sow the wheat seed and plough standing paddy stubble into the ground. The study was conducted in Fatehabad district of Haryana state among 120 adopter and non-adopter farmers of Super Seeder farm technology. The study was carried out in the 4 blocks of the district namely Bhuna, Bhattu Kalan, Ratia, and Fatehabad. It was found that 45.83 percent of the total farmers were from 35+to 50 years of age category followed by 27.50 percent and 26.67 percent from above 50 years and up to 35 years respectively. Majority of the farmers i.e., 78.33 percent belonged to general caste whereas rest 21.67 percent were from backward class. Time taken by Super Seeder is 3.33h/ha whereas 15h/ha by conventional practices which means time saving by 77.8 % as reported by adopters. Saving of fuel, labour requirement, and cost of sowing disclosed is 60.71%, 77.8% and 53% respectively. Super Seeder found to be advantageous in saving of 6.38% of gross return from grains and 8.90% of gross return from straw leading to 7.22% of total gross return. Regarding the constraints in adoption of Super Seder farmers reported (Table 3) requirement of high hp tractor of 60-70 horse power (rank I), lack of technical knowledge (rank II), choking of machine while working (rank III), high cost or high custom charges (rank IV).
