A thread on the representativeness of NFHS-2019-20 data
A useful pointer I found while using NFHS 2019-20 women's data. The data was collected from 724115 eligible women aged 15-49 from 707 districts across the country and could be disaggregated at the district level.
A must watch in the theatres. An excellent portrayal of culture, folklore, people's belongingness towards their land with a tight knit story. It is definitely an addition to the pride of namma sandalwood.

Dr. R. Vijayamba and Professor Madhura Swaminathan's recent paper highlights the significant amount of time spent by rural women in livestock raising. The labour force surveys in India, as elsewhere in the world, often underestimate this effort.

New paper alert 📢 I write on Women's Ownership of Livestock Assets from Karnataka in RAS 14,1. The paper finds that women owned animals of lower value raised in the homestead and whose care could be interspersed with household work.
📢New in RAS 14,1!
Women are responsible for livestock rearing in India – but do they own livestock assets?

Slashing of corporate tax is hailed as a move to spur the animal spirits in the economy. Will we ever see any fiscal investment from this government? What about the ailing rural investment?
No answers.

Hope that the withdrawal of homemaids and cooks in this isolation period makes men share the unpaid work and does not increase the burden on women.

In this article , I argue that dairy farmers are shifting to private buyers.
@nandinikmf
is demanding a price of Rs 5 a litre. If the shift towards private dairies continue, consumers might have to pay much more than what KMF is demanding right now.
KMF's persistence to increase milk prices since last two years meets approval by the State government.
The crisis in Karnataka's dairy economy was elaborated in this article
On women's day, social media is flooded with pictures of women juggling work and household chores. It's high time we normalize household work to both genders and accept a woman as a normal being with 24 hours a day who needs leisure just like her partner.
