Abstract

Women are the backbone of agricultural workforce and a vital part of Indian economy. Over the years, there is a gradual realization of the key role of women in agricultural development and their contribution in the field of agriculture, food security, horticulture and other allied sectors. Ergonomics as a field aims at fitting the job to man. The target is always to maximize work output and comfort while minimizing health hazards. The new innovation in agriculture technology enhances the workers’ comfort and adds to the safety.
