Abstract Rural female are a part of the farming and countryside economy. Yet many people do not notice female’s work because much of it happens only in certain seasons is unpaid, informal or done inside the home. This study looks at how rural female work in the Prayagraj district of Uttar Pradesh from 2001 to 2011. It uses data mainly from the Census of India, district reports and other official sources. The study focuses on eight tehsils – Soraon, Phulpur, Prayagraj Sadar, Bara, Karchhana, Handia, Meja and Koraon –. Separates rural female into main workers and marginal workers and looks at their jobs such as farmers, farm laborers, household industry workers and other jobs. The results show differences in how many rural female are working in each area. Handia had the most rural female workers in 2011 while Prayagraj Sadar had the fewest. Female main workers grew in every tehsil from 2001 to 2011 especially in Karchhana Prayagraj Sadar and Phulpur. Female marginal workers changed unevenly – rural female marginal workers grew in six tehsils but fell in Karchhana and Meja. Most jobs for female are still in farming especially in the rural tehsils but the more town-like Prayagraj Sadar had more rural female working in non-farming jobs. The study also shows gains in rural female’s literacy and changes in population during the decade. Overall the study shows that rural female worked more from 2001 to 2011 but the type and steadiness of female’s work differed a lot across the district. The study suggests that local rules must help rural female get jobs learn new skills find non-farm work and have programmes that care about gender, in rural development.
