| dc.description.abstract | Abstract Rural women in our country constitute an important work force in agriculture and allied sectors and are vital to the well being of farm households. The farm women are engaged daily in enormous number of activities like farming, livestock development and production, collecting forest produce and so on. Besides, they fetch firewood, fodder and water both for meeting family’s needs and for livestock purposes in addition to the regular household course. Considerable time is spent on food preparation, feeding the family and its welfare. Besides, the participation of women in SHGs have made a significant impact on their entrepreneurial activities such as, agricultural development like all crops including fruits & vegetable, animal husbandry & dairy, vermicompost, poultry, goat rearing, fish rearing, micro irrigation, seed production, flower vending business etc & non-farm entrepreneurial activities like papad making, agarbatti making, pickles making, sweets making, disposal material, tent house etc. provide employment to a greater extent. The largest credit-based poverty alleviation programme namely, Swarnjayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojna (SGSY), launched in India on 01.04.1999 aims to bring the assisted families (Swarozgaries) above the poverty line by ensuring appreciable sustained level of income over a period of time. This objective was achieved by organizing the rural poor into Self Help Groups (SHGs) through the process of social mobilization, training and capacity-building and provision of income generating assets. The SHG approach helps the poor to build their self-confidence through community action. This process would ultimately lead to the strengthening socio-economic empowerment of the rural poor as well as improving their collective bargaining power. In Rewa district, Dairy farming is one of the important economic activities of the rural population. The importance of the dairy has been stressed by the National Commission on Agriculture as a subsidiary industry to agriculture. Dairy Enterprise provides continuous income and improves dietary standards of family, as well as reduces unemployment to a large number of the rural poor. Dairy enterprise has been found most common economic activity among the SHGs under SGSY. Hence it is felt necessary to know the extent to which the dairy enterprise is being performed better in term of economic gain by the rural women self help groups. Based on the fact, the assessment about performance of dairy enterprise undertaken by SHG’s rural women is considered. Keeping this in view the present study entitled as “A Study on Performance of Dairy Enterprise among the Rural Women Self Help Groups under SGSY in Gangeo block of Rewa Distt. (M.P.)’’ has been undertaken with the following objectives. 1. To study the personal, socio-economic, communicational and psychological characteristics of the rural women SHG members. 2. To assess the performance of dairy enterprise taken up by rural women SHG members. 3. To find out the association between personal, socio-economic, communicational and psychological characteristics of the rural women SHG members and performance of their dairy enterprise. 4. To identify the problems faced by members of self help group of dairy enterprise and find out the suggestion made by rural women SHG for enhancing economic gain through dairy enterprise.
