Natural resource is being subjected for poor land management practices. in order to overcome this the Government of Karnataka has initiated Sujala watershed project. Chitradurga district was selected purposefully to study the impact of watershed project on women. The project covered all six taluks. Scale has been developed for the measurement of women participation in watershed development activities with 50 statements under five broad components viz., Soil and water conservation measures, Judicious use of water, Natural resource management, Income generating activities and community based organizations. Participation was medium in 59.5percent of the respondents followed by high (28%) and low (12.5%) categories.
