PoliticsMaharashtra Recognises Women Farmers Without Land Ownership
Starting October 2, Maharashtra will issue Women Farmers Certificates (WFCs) under the Women Farmer’s Empowerment Act 2026. These certificates formally recognize women engaged in agriculture or allied activities as farmers, even if they do not own land. This move aims to empower lakhs of women who manage farming, livestock, poultry, and fisheries but lack formal recognition and access to resources.
