Impact of floriculture development enhances livelihood of India's rural women.

摘要

India's rural women are involved in various types of work and contribute considerably to the economy. However much of their work is not systematically accounted in the official statistics. India's governmental and non-governmental data collection agencies admit that there is an under-estimation of tribal women's contribution as rural workers. This study describes in detail a research project that focuses on the indicators for socioeconomic development in the least developed rural villages by examining the impact of floriculture on the lives of impoverished tribal women who inhabit the harsh drylands of western India.
