Dixit Richa and Dixit Ashutosh (2010) is find out that on more than 410 sample from Jaipur,

Barmer, Jodhpur that in Post-Harvest Operations in Food Grains and Role of Farm Women farm women compared to men farmers in respect of the operations they perform is 48%, 54% or 42% according that. Saeid Abbasian and Carina Bildt taking interviews of sixteen female entrepreneurs and fill up questionnaire find that More than half of the women investigated in this study gave a structural motive as the first Reason for becoming entrepreneurs. Unemployment, the need to support their families, the absence of proper jobs, forced privatization of jobs, low-paid jobs and discrimination have been among the structural explanations. More than 100,000 dairy cooperatives got integrated through a three-tier cooperative structure, the Anand model, owned by more than 10 million farmers, which procures on average 16.5 million liters of milk every day. The milk is processed and marketed by 198 milk producers cooperative unions. Fifteen state cooperative milk marketing federations work under the ownership of milk producers unions. It is significant to note that the women members manage More than 70% of the milk cooperatives. Certainly women get the advantages of it. The present study intends to see the impact of dairy industry on women with Respect to their self-reliance and empowerment. It was also found that a majority of them were poorly educated, with 86% having qualifications less than SSC, and only one woman was a graduate. It was also found that all the women had the dual responsibility of being a housewife and at the same time being engaged in animal husbandry (Jigna Trivedi, P K Priyan and Vinay Bhinde 2011), This implies that there is a strong association (at phi 0.752 > 0.05) between the number of cattle reared and monthly income derived from selling milk. It supports the general belief that more number of animals imply more milk. Government of

India, Empowerment means moving from a weak position to execute a power. Education of women in the education of women is the most powerful tool of change of position in society. Education also brings a reduction in inequalities and functions as a means of improving their status within the family. To encourage the education of women at all levels and for dilution of gender bias in providing knowledge and education, established schools, colleges and universities even exclusively for women in the state. To bring more girls, especially from marginalized families of BPL, in mainstream education, the government is providing a package of concessions in the form of providing free books, uniform, boarding and lodging, clothing for the hostilities midday meals, scholarships, free circles and so on (M. SUGUNA 2011). There are various factors for empowering women.. For Self Help Group programs, the results seem to indicate that the minimalist microfinance approach is not sufficient. There has been a positive growth in women entrepreneurship. The entrepreneurial culture among women leads to all-round development in the field of economic independence and total empowerment. Entrepreneurship certainly enhances their socio-economic status which is a key factor for their empowerment. This process of entrepreneurial culture among women helps them in realizng their true potentials and attaining empowerment. (Mrs. Jyothi 2011) Majority of the members expressed that they were totally dependent either on the Husband or other male members of the family to meet their routine expenditure. With the organization of dairy co-operative societies, they were able to get cash Every week, which facilitated them to meet their household and agricultural Activities without depending on the male members. Thus, we find real economic Empowerment has also taken place with the organization of dairy societies under STEP (T Paranjothi & K Ravichandran).

Suja (2012) take interview with 100 selected SHG members find out that are to be properly educated about the fruits of this co-operative type of movement. The male members of the families should be made to play a supportive role. Training in the business activities of the members is the need of the hour. NGOs should play a strong role in leading the groups and should not restrict their role to that. Providing training, awareness raising workshops and other activities over and above microfinance programs that focus on financial services will also have an impact on the empowerment process of women (WAHED MOHIUDDIN & DR. P. RAMLAL 2012).
