It is encouraging to observe that greater role of women in all milking practices in the study area. Women’s role and participation in milking practices is quite high which gives a good signal. It is good to note that dairy farm women are playing their greater role in preparation of milk by products value addition which in turn leads to fetch better prices of the milk. Since, our is a male dominated society, almost all the decision regarding purchase of new animals and selling of male calves are done by male family head. It is better if the women are considered equal partner in making significant decision of dairy unit unless, they are educated and empowered to take part in decision making.
