<p align=right>by James Marriot</p>

<div align=justify>With their immense contribution to the caring and ranching of livestock, women workforce dominates the entire livestock industry of India. The job responsibilities taken up by the rural women include outdoor jobs such as herding the animals for grazing and collecting fodder for them, whereas the indoor jobs include milking, cleaning and feeding and so on. Besides providing an overwhelming support to Indian livestock industry, the rural women are the backbone of Indian agricultural industry. As far as their contribution to overall agricultural production is concerned, the role of Indian rural women ranges from mangers to landless laborers. The land-owning status of farm households defines their role and mode of participation in agricultural production. However, their job responsibilities and extent of involvement are different in different agro-production systems. As per a recent market research report named “Indian Livestock Industry - An Industry Analysis” published by RNCOS, “Women account for 55% of livestock farming labor whereas their participation in works related to the care of animals is above 77%”. On the whole, Indian rural women make up for 93% of overall employment in dairy. However, their average contribution to the entire farm production is estimated around 45% to 56% of the total labor. Also, the report presents a quick tour of each of the 29 Indian states & 6 union territories. The report lists Jammu & Kashmir, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh among others as the regions with maximum livestock population. The expert analysts of RNCOS have conducted a thorough research in order to prepare this report, which includes a comprehensive analysis of the opportunities and challenges before the Indian livestock industry. As per the experts, “The disaggregated and unorganized form of activity pose the main challenge before the Indian livestock industry”. The report is a must read for both the investors as well as industrialists as it gives a deep insight into the current trends as well as future prospects of the Indian livestock industry. Along with discussing the various government programs to support Indian livestock industry, the report also provides detailed information on the government organization that are working towards the growth of the Indian livestock industry.
