They constitute about half of the population of the country. Rural areas encompass 80.00 per cent of the total women population. Women perform multiple roles, both in agriculture and home. They perform almost 60.00 per cent of all working hours, receive 10.00 per cent of the word’s income and own even less than 1 per cent of the world’s property. Socio-cultural roles have International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 8 Number 10 (2019) Journal homepage: http://www.ijcmas.com The present study was conducted in purposely selected Southern area of Rajasthan as NAIP was implemented in four districts of Southern Rajasthan viz., Banswara, Dungarpur, Sirohi and Udaipur. Out of these, two districts i.e. Banswara and Dungarpur were selected for present investigation on the basis of maximum concentration of tribal population. To have an equal representation of survey area, all the 25 villages in which the NAIP programme implemented were included in the proposed study. Ten respondents were drawn from each village with the help of random sampling technique. Thus, a sample of 250 tribal farm women who belonged to beneficiary farm families was selected as respondents for the present study. On the basis of overall adoption derived by the tribal farm women on horticulture interventions under NAIP, three categories were formulated viz., low (<14.8), medium (14.9-21.3) and high (>21.3) level of adoption on horticulture interventions under NAIP. The results shows that out of 250 sample respondents, 70.40 per cent tribal farm women were having medium level of adoption of horticulture interventions under NAIP followed by 15.00 per cent with high and 14.00 per cent farm women with low level of adoption of horticulture interventions under NAIP.
