Women play important role in Agriculture. In rainfed farming owing to male migration women dependency on
farming for livelihood has been increasing. Women are constrained with credit, inputs and technology that support
livelihood. A participatory action research (PAR) in Mahabubnagar district of Andhra Pradesh was initiated to
address production constraints and empower them both technologically and economically through identification
of problems, provision of technological solutions and reducing drudgery. Women groups of 10- 15 members were
formed to facilitate access to productive resources. Results from PAR in crop production indicated significant
improvement in productivity of crops and household income. Similarly, livestock health was improved with mineral
mixture supplementation increasing milk yield. Drudgery reduction through small tools were successfully
demonstrated. Woman collective participation accrued more benefits of credit, inputs, technology to group members
enabling significant impact on productivity of rainfed crops and as well to their own capabilities.
