“Unity is the Strength”. People have enormous power, that too women. If this principle could be applied in our every walk of life, the sky would be the limit of the fruits of success. The women should be awaken for their unbelievable potential they have. This potential should be converted into the capability through appropriate intervention. Dairy Cooperative Society is one of the best alternative means for farm women to engage and empower themselves in all aspects of their life. Cow keeping and curd making are the traditional practices of rural women. Only this practice is to be channelized in a systematic cooperative mechanism for greater interest and better performance. Farm women can be self- sustained socio- economically by adopting our traditional day’s tradition of cow keeping and curd making. The book explains steps need to be taken in the functioning of Women Dairy Cooperatives Societies such as their performance, functioning, organization, entrepreneurial behavior of members & constraints in functioning etc. with the support of research evidence.

Preface I am immensely happy to write this book on “Farm Woman Empowerment through Dairy Cooperative Societies”. I got the inspiration to write this book from Prof. Dr.Chakradhar Sathapathy, the former Prof and Head, Dept.of Agriculture Extension and former Dean, Directorate of Extension Education, OUAT, Bhubaneswar. I am indebted to him for the milk of kindness he has shown in guiding me for my Ph.D programme. I owe my gratefulness to our Hon’ble Vice-chancellor, OUAT, Prof.D.P.Roy, for his illustrious inspiration to me and to Prof. P.K. Dehuri, Dean, C.V.Sc &A.H. for his constant moral support for writing this Book. Many times, we are forgetting to understand the same old proverb “United we stand and Divided we fall” or to make it simpler “Unity is the Strength”. People have enormous power, that too women. Cooperation is the base for sustenance of life. If this principle could be applied in our every walk of life, the sky would be the limit of the fruits of success. The women should be awaken for their unbelievable potential they have. This potential should be converted into the capability through appropriate intervention. The capable women folk are a sizable stock of human resource of our country. When appropriate opportunity along with need based support is provided that will encourage them to be more practical and productive in their respective field .This paves the way towards empowerment. When women are empowered physically, financially, spiritually, mentally, and above all socially, there would be tremendous change in the society thus leads to the development of the country. Dairy Cooperative Society is one of the best alternative means for farm women to engage and empower themselves in all aspects of their life. Cow keeping and curd making are the traditional practice of rural women. Only this practice is to be channelized in a systematic cooperative mechanism for greater interest and better performance. This is an attempt to bring into lime light that how farm women can be self- sustained socio- economically by adopting our days old tradition of cow keeping and curd making. In this Book steps have been taken to explain different aspects of functioning of Women Dairy Cooperatives Societies such as their performance, functioning, organization, entrepreneurial behaviour of members & constraints in functioning etc. with the support of research evidence. This book will be a great help to all those esteemed personalities working for Rural Development, Women Empowerment, Policy makers and more so all the NGOS working in Rural Development sectors.

 
1 Dairy Development Scenario World, India & Odisha

Livestock Population and it’s Economic Contribution According to 18th Livestock census of India (2007), India has about 199.1 million cattle, which constitute 44.29 per cent of Asian and 12.7 per cent of the world cattle population. The current buffalo population is 105.34 million which accounts 57 per cent of Asian and 55 per cent of the world buffalos. The major output of the entire livestock sector is from the milk, which is the second most agricultural commodities next to paddy. According to the annual report of the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperation, during 2006-07, the contribution of milk alone (Rs.1,44,386 crore) was higher than paddy (Rs.85,032 crore), wheat (Rs.66,791 crore) and sugarcane (Rs.28,488 crore). The value of output from meat group animals as per estimates of Central Statistical Organization (CSO) at current prices was Rs. 34, 310 crore during 2006-07. Total export earnings from livestock, poultry and related products were Rs.5,213.80 crore during 2006-07. Eighty percent rural households keep livestock for their subsidiary income, important for employment, livelihood, nutrition, constant flow of quick and fast income, reduces the vulnerability of agricultural production. Trends indicate that animal protein consumption would rise proportionately with increase in income. The 18th Livestock Census (2007) has placed the total livestock population at 529.698 million and total of poultry birds at 648.830 million.

2 Women in Dairy Development

Status of Women As per 2011 Census, women account for 586.46 million, and represent 48.5% of India’s total population. However, from global perspectives, they constitute half of global population, and 1/3rd labour force, but receive only 1/10th of world income, and own less than 1% of world’s property. Further from national point of view as Reddy et al. (1994) in his study opined that “although women constitute 50 percent of India’s population, perform two-thirds of the work and produce 50 percent of food commodities consumed by the country and they earn only one-third of the remuneration and 10 percent of the property or wealth of the country. The vast majority of working women are uneducated cultivators and agricultural labourers residing in villages. Most of the women, working on the family farm are unpaid labourers. 63 percent of all educated women with at least a high school certificate are unemployed, and of the 37 percent who are employed 15 percent are clerks, 5 percent teachers, 7 percent nurses and 10 percent are other professionals. Only 6 percent of Government employees are women (Jain, A.K. 2004). Rural Women form the most important productive work force in the economy of majority of the developing nations including India. Agriculture, the single largest production endeavour in India, contributing about 18% of GDP, is increasingly becoming a female activity. Agriculture sector employs 4/5th of all economically active women in the country. 48% of India’s self-employed farmers are women. There are 75 million women engaged in dairying as against 15 million men and 20 million in animal husbandry as compared to 1.5 million men. Despite progress in several key indicators, a gender analysis demonstrates that women continue to be relatively disadvantaged in matters of survival, health, nutrition, literacy and productivity. Further, more than 90 percent of rural women are unskilled, restricting them to low paid occupations. Women generally have no control over land and other productive assets which largely exclude them from access to institutional credit. Further, agricultural wages for women, on an average 30-50 percent less than those for men. Though they work for longer hours under inhospitable conditions, their participation in decision making process is less than desirable.

5 Functioning of Women Dairy Cooperative Societies

The functioning of the Women Dairy Cooperative Societies depends upon the variations in managerial capacity leading to profit and loss of different WDCS. To make an in-depth analysis, the study was undertaken in undivided Cuttack and Dhenkanal district of Odisha covering 22 randomized WDCS with a sample of 110 women respondents. The analysis of the findings after statistical treatment have been presented objective-wise as follows; Socio-economic profile of the members of WDCS involved in dairy production activities. Gap between procedures prescribed and followed in formation and functioning of WDCS. Identification and analysis of key performance areas in the WDCS. Determination of management practices and milk production profiles of WDCS members. Extent of participation of women members in dairy activities. Entrepreneurial characteristics of members of Women Dairy Cooperative Society. Impact of WDCS on socio-economic status of the members. Correlating variables and their interrelationship in predicting smooth functioning of WDCS. Constraints faced by the WDCS members. Suggestions of members for improvement in functioning of WDCS
