abstract
Extension and digitalization are crucial components in promoting women's empowerment, especially in rural areas like Chhattisgarh. Women often have less access to agricultural information than men, constraining their participation in decision-making on crops, technologies, and practices. In the design of agricultural extension programs, women may be viewed as insignificant actors in agricultural production. Moreover, even if their role is recognized, valuable information on production does not flow freely within the household from men to women. Women empowerment is essential not just for meeting their economic demands, but also for a more comprehensive social and economic outlook. They urge women to take leadership roles in their homes, communities, and local democratic areas by making them to participate in decision-making. Thus, the present study was carried out with an objective to know about the Empowering Tribal Women in Chhattisgarh through digitalization of Extension services.
