This study examines the economic and social implications of women dairy farmers in Jaipur District. Women’s economic participation, especially in dairy, empowers them and reduces poverty. Dairying women’s income patterns and socioeconomic effects are studied rigorously. From ten tehsils, 413 Jaipur district dairy and animal husbandry women were interviewed. The data collection period was from January to December 2022. For representative sampling, multi-stage sampling was adopted. Data was analyzed using SPSS’s Kruskal-Wallis Test, average, and percentage calculations. Professional dairy farmers include several women with over nine years of expertise. Most annual revenues were between Rs. 1,000,000 and Rs. 3,000,000. Although the Kruskal-Wallis test did not uncover family size-related income differences, the study shows women’s adaptability and inventiveness in generating money and improving their communities. Future research should examine other factors affecting revenue patterns and socioeconomic outcomes to better understand dairy farming women’s livelihood strategies and issues.
