Nepal is an agricultural country. About 80 per cent of the total population fully depends on agriculture and more than 90 per cent of women are directly related to agriculture. But men are considered as farmer rather than women. This is because men do the ploughing and digging which seems to be laborious work. But in other hand women who works since early in the morning to very midnight seems to be less laborious works.
Reality is quite different, i.e., women work more than men in the agricultural field.
Their work is also more time consuming and tedious than mens'.They various agricultural tasks beside ploughing and digging. Nowadays women have also begun to participate in ploughing. If women's work is also to be counted as real work and paid then it would be proved that women earn more from agricultural farm than men and they are called as real farmer. In my view women are real farmer of Nepal rather than men. The peasants surviving on the poor slopes of the mountains of this region.
