An update list of 400 Chakma farm women who were related to homestead gardening activities was prepared with the help of Sub-Assistant Agricultural Officer of these localities. One hundred farm women were selected as the sample of the study by using random sampling method. A well-structured interview schedule was developed based on the objectives of the study for collecting information. The researcher herself collected data through personal contact.
