"During the plan period we achieve "Green-Revolution" in agriculture. But the benefits of "Green-Revolution" are not reached upto agricultural labourers. They get unusually low wages with irregular and insufficient employment which put an excessive burden on them. The problems of agricultural labourers are serious but the problems of female farm workers are more serious. Their economic and social condition is pitiable. They are prone to economic exploitation. Their living level is low and their earnings are below the Povertyline. There are very serious problems of wages, Employment, Income, Standard of living, Malnutrition and Health problems, Heavy burden of work etc., This book attempts to identify major problems and their possible solutions with context to Gujarat State."
