The role of rural women’s in agricultural activities is substantial in India in general and in the Uttar Pradesh State in particular. Their contribution in the agriculture and livestock is underestimated. In this milieu, this study was planned with the objective to determine the problems faced by rural women during agricultural activities. The results revealed that that majority of the rural women were participating in diverse agricultural activities including sowing, harvesting and picking. Majority of the rural women were doing work to increase their family income but they were facing many problems in looking after their children and household chores. Negative attitude of the family is found to be one of the main problems. It is suggested that negative stereotype image of rural women in rural areas should be changed with the help of mass media.
