AbstractOne can assess a nation's increase by investigative its behaviour of women in terms of occupation and social status. Gender equality in a society confirms that women and men have identical access to capitals, occasions, rights, and errands.

Gender-based judgment negatively impacts various aspects of individualshealth and well-being. An assessment is required to determine the prevalence of chauvinism and other types of human vulnerability in the economic and social sectors of the Hooghly area. The study was conducted in six villages within the district, where women participants from various socio-economic situations and different castes were selected. The survey found that women are actively involved in several aspects of agriculture in addition to domestic tasks. Their participation in animal husbandry is an underpaid and unacknowledged venture. The increasing population and male migration to urban areas for employment are leading to a growing involvement of women in agriculture and related tasks.Keywords: Gender equality, agriculture, animal husbandry, socio-economic
