The data was collected on personal characteristics, awareness, opinion, knowledge and suggestions for improvement of Government programmes. This information was collected through pre tested structured interview schedule. Devadasi women revealed that major reasons for dedication were poverty, social customs and religious beliefs. Majority of Devadasis belonged to middle age (72.50%) most of them were illiterates (86.50%) and belonged to scheduled caste (70.00%). Half of the respondents were agricultural labourers. Most of the respondents were aware about subsidiary income generating activities like dairy (68.75%), poultry (65.00%) and sheep rearing (61.50%). Fourty per cent of Devadasi women had expressed favourable opinion towards the income generating activities. More than 90 per cent of the respondents expressed the training need on phenyle preparation followed by candle making (71.25%), vessel cleaning powder preparation (66.20%), washing powder preparation (63.80%) and agarbatti making (57.50%).
