  Without ensuring appropriate gender balance over a reasonable period of time under a targeted plan of action in all its programmes for agriculture and rural development, a developing country cannot achieve the goals of the eradication of hunger and poverty, and food security for all. One way to redress this imbalance is to improve healthcare and family planning facilities in the rural areas to relieve them of excessive child bearing burden. State should actively involve the civil society organisations to launch special rural female literacy and education campaigns by offering attractive monetary rewards. It would not only help in their empowerment but would also reduce domestic violence. Similarly ensuring women’s access to resources and assets, including ownership of land by creating awareness about their rights and promulgation and strict enforcement of legal framework could go a long way in financial independence of the women in the countryside. This could be augmented by providing them opportunities to develop market oriented skills and remunerative employment in the rural areas.
