the year 2010 to investigate the position of women
followed by involvement in socioeconomic activities. For
analysis primary data were collected through
questionnaire using a sample of size one hundred and
sixty allocating to eleven villages of the district on the
basis of stratified random sampling technique. Focus
was given to reflect their role in connection with their
problems in the major areas like access to resources,
autonomy in power, cultural responsibilities, household
management, natural resources management, cultural
ceremonies, access to basic facilities and harassment
and violence against women. Based on the findings of

arranging socioeconomic activities as against the
passive role of women. Liberty for women, opportunities
for active participation and access to basic facilities
