Abstract

Women play an important role in the development of a family or a society. Because of low self-esteem levels the women need to be trained through self-esteem interventions. There are many standardized and wide range of interventions focused to promote self-esteem among farm women. A study was made in Telangana state to assess the self-esteem of farm women. A sample of 120 farm women was selected from rural areas of Telangana by using purposive sampling method. The results of the study revealed that overall self-esteem was 59.00 per cent at low score, 30.00 per cent at average score and 11.00 per cent at high score. The women needed self-esteem intervention programmes to enhance their empower status.
