dc.description.abstractAspirations are goals, individuals are willing to invest time, effort or money in to attain. Individual must act, must have time, effort or money to pursue their goals. In this context the study was designed to identify aspirations, time utilization pattern, expenditure behavior and to ascertain congruence among aspirations, time utilization pattern and expenditure behavior of farm women. For this study, 500 farm women were selected from proportionately selected districts from five agro climatic zones of Punjab. Data was collected by semi structured interview schedule. Findings of the study revealed that farm women aspire more for children’s occupation, children’s education and their settlement in foreign countries. They did not aspiretheir children to be agriculturist. Majority of farm women had medium level of aspirations. On an average, farm women spent their maximum time i.e. 4.15 hours/day on kitchen work and minimum time i.e. 1.18hours/day on community related work. On an average, farm families had maximum expenditure (Rs. 80,552/annum) on food and had minimum personal expenditure (Rs. 10,079/annum). Farm families had average expenditure i.e. Rs. 2, 75,668/annum which means they monthly spent Rs. 22,972 on different household components. Between the three income groups—low income, medium income, and high income, the high income group had the highest average expenditure. Levels of aspirations, time utilization pattern and expenditure behavior were significantly associated with each other. Aspirations were found to be positively and significantly correlated withtime utilization pattern and expenditure behavior. Time utilization and expenditure behavior were also positively and significantly related with each other.en_US
