Abstract
Agriculture serves as the backbone of the Indian economy, with women constituting a substantial portion of the agricultural workforce. However, female agricultural workers face diverse occupational health risks influenced by geospatial disparities, climatic conditions, socio-economic factors, and access to healthcare. This study aims to analyze these risks across different states in India through a multidisciplinary approach integrating geospatial analysis, epidemiological data, and statistical visualizations. The research highlights significant health concerns, including pesticide exposure, musculoskeletal disorders, respiratory ailments, and other occupational hazards, which exhibit distinct regional variations. A bar chart illustrating the number of states affected by each health risk underscores these disparities, providing a comparative perspective on their prevalence. The findings emphasize the need for state-specific policy interventions to address health inequities among female agricultural workers. This study underscores the urgency of implementing targeted healthcare strategies, improving occupational safety measures, and promoting policy reforms to enhance the well-being of this vulnerable workforce.
