Abstract

The study was focused on the topic entitled the impact of the Women Farmer Producer Organization (WFPO) on the empowerment of women farmers, who play a prominent role in agriculture and allied sectors but face various challenges and constraints. The study aims to determine the socio-economic and psychological characteristics of the respondents and to analyze the perceived impact of WFPO on their empowerment in terms of personal, socioeconomic, psychological, and political aspects. This study adopts an ex post facto research design and uses a random sampling method to select 60 respondents from a WFPO in Tiruvannamalai district and collected the data on various variables such as age, education, occupation, farm size, social participation, extension agency contact, training experience, and attitude towards FPO. The paired sample t-test was used to compare the income of the respondents before and after joining the WFPO by using SPSS software 26.0. The results show that there is a significant difference between the income of the respondents before and after joining the WFPO, indicating that the WFPO has a positive impact on their empowerment and livelihood. It is inferred that the FPO module assisted respondents in raising their income from various income-generating activities and in their overall income.
