Livestock have been an integral component of the agricultural and rural development of Kerala economy. They supply energy for crop production in terms of draught power and organic manure and in turn, derive their own energy requirements from crop by-products and residues. It is a source of food, raw material and by products in the form of hides and skins, blood, bone, fat, etc. The rate of increase in the demand for animal products is increasing globally. The livestock sector is also a major livelihood provider and an important secondary source of income and employment for rural families requires sustained growth. The supply demand gap and projected demand for livestock products necessitates the growth of this sector in a sustainable way in the state.
Today more than ever before, there is ‘gender amidst the scenario of concern’. That is because of the fact that despite centuries of feminist struggles, voices from the margin etc, the present era of neo-liberalism is not free from ‘contradictory’ practices by state and non-state actors as far as women’s issues are concerned. Schemes for women and girl child, and programmes for women entrepreneurship development cannot change the big picture: women are either victimised or caricatured. What is more alarming is that, many perceive feminism to be an outdated ideology at the most to be discussed by women only. This paper tries to relocate feminism in the context of both Millennium Development Goals and Sustainable Development Goals. Taking cue from the global recognition of women’s rights as human rights since 1993, human rights are essential for dignified human existence encompassing rights for fulfilling basic needs as well as for the development of human potential and personality. It is argued that if ‘empowerment’ has to be realised through education for women, then that education has to deal with human rights in general and women’s human rights in particular. In addition the paper also examines the status and rights of Indian women, with a glimpse into the future.

Entrepreneurship is an elusive concept. The concept of entrepreneurship has been a subject of much debate and is defined differently by different authors. It has been used in various ways and in various senses. The word entrepreneurship has been derived from a French root which means ‘to undertake’ Today, people call it by various names such as, ‘risk bearing’, ‘innovations,’ ‘thrill seeking’ etc. The word ‘Dalit’ comes from the Sanskrit root dal - and means ‘broken, ground-down, or oppressed’. Those previously known as Untouchables, Depressed classes and Harijanas who are sharing 24.4 percent in the total population (According to 2011 census data) are today increasingly adopting the term ‘Dalit’ as a name for themselves. The Dalits have historically been poor, deprived of basic human rights, and treated as social inferiors in India. They still face economic, social, and political discrimination in the name of ‘caste’. Entrepreneurship is particularly important, as the so called Dalits have run and managed a number of traditional and cottage industries such as handicrafts, pottery and leather-work for centuries. The skills, know-how and domain of knowledge necessary for this purpose have been passed on from one generation to the next and are available with them even today. In the modern technology dominated and development driven times, to fulfil the mission of, ‘Subka Saath- Subka Vikas’, there is an urgent need as well as wide scope for research on Dalit Entrepreneurship in a developing country like India. It is necessary to reflect on the factors that have imprisoned them in the dungeon of depravity and shed light on how to push them to the mainstream of the economy with access to means of better livelihood and opportunities.
