Abstract:
The study is intended to estimate the existing rate of
participation of women beneficiaries in the development
programmes of different organisations in Kerala. It would
enable one to understand whether participation is at the
satisfactory level or not. Given the rate of participation,
the major thrust of the analysis is on the impact of
governmental and non-governmental organisations on the rate of
participation. This is undertaken under the assumption that
NGOs, due to their proximity to people and their needs, ensure
better participation rates. Besides the organisational
differences, the other major determinants of women
participation such as their socio-economic characteristics,
psychological make up, the nature of the programme etc. are also highlighted. 0 Since the ascribed status of women in
society is inferior, the role of organisers, development
personnel and local leaders is also pointed out. Thus the
basic objective of the study is women participation and its
determinants in the development programmes
