Women are actively involved in various agricultural operations wherever the work is monotonous, time taking and recurring like sowing, weeding, harvesting, bundling vegetables etc. Majority of these activities have to be carried out manually either with simple tools or bare hands which leads to injuries, physiological stress, skin allergies and scratches.

Purposive random sampling technique was adopted in selecting 30 farm women in Maheswaram mandal, Rangareddy district of Telangana. Nearly 28% increase in harvesting activity was found apart from reducing the cuts and scratches on the fingers.
