It is also estimated that on an average, the Indian woman, especially in the poverty group spends above five hours per day more than the Indian man in work, including the visible burden of family. As per recent findings, women in India are major producers, of food in terms of value, volume and number of hours worked (Dash 2000). Srivastava (1985) stated that all women irrespective of land status of family,provide 14 to 18 h of productive physical labour in different chores. Women spends long hours with much labour in respective operations resulting in fatigue and drudgery. Therefore, the life
of women is full of drudgery at every stage.
