Around 43% of the agricultural labour force of developing countries is composed of women but they are often deprived from decision making process due to financial dependency. India has achieved self sufficiency in agricultural production, but a considerable amount of food product gets spoiled in every year due to improper postharvest operations. To uplift the livelihood and financial conditions of the rural women value addition of horticultural crops can offer tremendous opportunity. The paper discusses different value added product of horticultural crops and their utilisation pattern for large scale employment generation among rural women.

The different leafy vegetables are the reservoir of different vitamins and minerals that mostly include calcium, phosphorous and iron. Iron deficiency leads to anaemia is a threat throughout the world, more specifically found in women and children. Enrichment of iron content of these leafy vegetables can be achieved through iron fertilization which may play vital role to alleviate the problem of anaemia. Besides this, less bioavailability of non heme iron content (iron in plants) is also a big challenge. Considering these two factors, an experimental study was conducted in factorial randomized block design with three replications during the winter season of the year of 2018-19 at UBKV, Pundibari...
