Bandana Gupta, Sanjay Sharma

Abstract :

Women in the rural areas live in close association with the environment in relation to their overall daily activities. Although women can play big roles in the field of environment conservation but their role is often undervalued and ignored. The present study is an attempt to know the present status of women in the area, their activities which affect the environment and to assess the awareness among women about their role in environment protection. The study was based on a survey conducted in three villages of Rajouri, J&K, namely Muradpur, Choudhary Nar and Talwal, through personal interview with the help of a questionnaire. It was observed that there is a wide scope for women to realize their potential and strength in the field of environment protection so that they can transform themselves from effective home managers to effective environmental managers.
