Collective efforts are recommended in order to ensure that dairy workers have equal employment opportunity and a comparable wage structure. The government should provide support in terms of technology upgrade and services infrastructure. There is high level of participation among women in indoor activities such as feeding animals, providing water, cleaning sheds, milking, and processing milk products. Nevertheless, their participation in outdoor activities, including fodder cutting and marketing milk and milk products, is low since mobility is restricted, technical skill is limited, patriarchal, social, cultural, and religious constraints are present. There was a wide variation in the participation of men and women in dairy activities based on household categories (apart from landholding sizes). Family members across the households had difficulty communicating with one another. Among participants in the study, there was a weak correlation between their participation in the study and the improvement of their livelihoods.
