Women are an integral part of every society who constitute half of the population across the globe and only 41% of the women are working in the agricultural sector. South Asia practices extreme level of discrimination against women in all sectors and are treated like slaves, however with Industrial revolution and men moving out of their homes in search of better employment , we find women taking charge of the agriculture land which is found in many of the South Asian countries . In India the place of women in society has always changed from time to time , where during the Rig Veda time women had access to everything and where considered equal to men , with the passage of time during the medieval period we see a change in the mindset of the society where women have taken the role of reproduction and care takers of their homes , which mindset continues till today and we see women across the country fighting for their basic human rights , We require an upgradation , we need to involve women in the economic sector especially rural women where majority of the population reside , India being an agricultural country , is highly dependent on agricultural as its primary source of income. If we empower women we can end the problem of poverty, gender inequality, and economic crisis to a high extent and reach universal education for all not only in India but across South Asia.
