Maharashtra Women Farmers Demand Recognition, Land Rights

Maharashtra Women Farmers Demand Recognition, Land Rights

Women farmers in Maharashtra are asking for official recognition and land rights.

They say they work hard in farming but are not counted as farmers or farm workers.

This makes it hard for them to get loans or help from the government.

A meeting was held in Mumbai to talk about this problem.

Important people from the government and a research group were there.

They said women are very important in farming, and the government is trying to help.

They also talked about a plan to give women farmers special cards and put their names in a big list so they can get the help they need.

They also said that climate change is making things harder for women farmers, so they need more support.
