Agriculture represents the majority of women workforce in India and more than 60 per cent of farm women experience Occupational Health Hazards. Occupational Health is a sustained activity aimed at the promotion and maintenance of the highest degree of physical, mental and social wellbeing of workers in all occupations. In the highly stratified Indian society, most of the women workers in the agricultural sector are at the bottom of the social order deprived of the primary health facilities. Occupational Health in agriculture has a direct impact on productivity, and the women worker’s health is the baseline for agricultural production. Agricultural hazards arise from agricultural tools, farm machinery, climate agents, chemical agents, animal/snake bite, dust, solar radiation and psychological stress due to socio-economic problems. The social security and welfare measures with effective implementation could play a predominant role in enhancing health in the agricultural sector. This seminar attempts to set a platform to create meaningful discussion on Occupational Health Hazards of Women workers in Agriculture.
