There is uneven participation of women in different countries in the formal productive activities of national economic systems. This is equally true in the context of participation in informal sector. In India we have a large underdeveloped sector where people are in absolute poverty and consequently suffer from want of skill so essential for ushering in an ever-rising level of efficient productive system.

The overall aim is for the income and employment of louth male and female population of a local level rural economy of West Bengal.
