SOCIAL EMPOWERMENT OF WOMEN THROUGH DAIRY FARMING: A STUDY

This study explores the social empowerment of women through dairy farming, focusing on the issues and challenges they face. Dairy farming has emerged as a significant avenue for social development in rural areas, offering women opportunities to enhance their knowledge and improve their livelihoods. This research aims to analyse the multifaceted impacts of dairy farming on women’s social status, including children’s education aspects, marriages aspects, financial aspects, respect and treated. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, incorporating both quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with women involved in dairy farming across various regions. Key findings reveal that while dairy farming provides substantial social benefits and empowerment opportunities, women encounter several barriers such as limited access to resources, inadequate training, and socio-cultural constraints.
