Some historians believe that first crop plants were domesticated by woman and so the art and science of farming was started. Despite their significant contribution in various agricultural activities, women are mainly ignored when it comes to taking decisions related to farm operations. Therefore, the present study was undertaken with the objectives to examine the role of farm women as decision maker in farm related decisions and to find out the extent of involvement they may have in farm related decisions. The study was conducted in Bathinda district of Punjab state and 20 women from each of the four randomly selected villages were selected purposively, thus comprising a total sample of 80 women. Personal interview method was used for data collection. Results revealed that there was negligible participation of women in decision-making regarding farm related activities.
