Abstract
Women have a high stake in dairying; they account for 93 per cent of total employment in dairy production. A woman plays an important role in dairy enterprises as manager, decision makers and skilled workers in spite of that her hard work is mostly been unpaid and their considerable involvement or contribution in dairy production has been underestimated or ignored. The low participation of farm women was observed in decision making about economic aspects of animal husbandry farming. The knowledge and skill of women dairy occupation and their participation on decision making certainly affects their efficiency work and the development of dairy enterprise. In order to find out the relationship between the selected characteristic of respondents with their decision making pattern regarding overall improved dairy farming practices correlation was worked out. The analysis of data showed that education land holding, herd size and annual income were significant and positively correlated with their decision making pattern.
