Despite the fact that women remained socially subordinate to men, they participated in resource control, decision-making, and production. Yet the status of farm women in general is much lower than that of male counterparts largely because of the customary male dominance in the society, inherent shyness of farm women, lack of opportunities and very poor accessibility to modern technologies. The present study is an endeavor to address this issue in a traditionally agrarian society, i.e. Odisha, India. The data are analyzed through descriptive statistics like mean, standard deviation, cross tabulation and Logit regression estimation techniques is adopted. For estimation of the aforesaid regression model the statistical packages like SPSS 20.0 and Stata 13.0 are used. Land is mostly owned by male person, which is basically due to hereditary reason (82.9 %). But cultural reason and to get the Government benefits are the minor factors. So far as reasons for land ownership at district level is concerned hereditary is the only reason to own the land. Factors like age, year of education and income from Primary Occupation do not improve the knowledge of parents regarding the property right of their girl children as these factors are not significant.

The struggle against poverty is directly linked to saving rural people. Ethiopia and China have been implementing rural development policies and strategies to lead millions of rural poor out of poverty. The study investigates Ethiopia’s and China’s rural development policies since the major rural reform periods. The author utilizes data from World Bank (WB) and Food Association Organization (FAO) to scrutinize the consequence of rural development policies towards rural poverty eradication in China and Ethiopia. The paper also describes the literature and based on the data, a series of normative analyses examine the interaction among rural development policy, rural people, and poverty in both nations. The finding of our study strongly urges that the remarkable achievements of China in the huge reduction of rural poverty is basically due to the post-reform commitment of the Communist Party of China towards target-specific, research-based, achievement-oriented and pro-poor rural development policy and implementation. Ethiopia needs to develop and implement bottom-up demand based, top-down incentive oriented, target-specific, research based and pro-poor rural reform strategies to lead millions of rural people from multi-causal poverty. Formulating and implementing target specific, research-based, achievement-oriented and pro-poor rural development policies and strategies could play a substantial role to eradicate rural poverty in developing countries.

Rural development has assumed a global attention especially among developing counties like India where around more than half percent of people live in rural areas. Development can occur not only with technology and education but also with gaining and accepting ability of culture to adopt the new era so as to compete with the outer world. Based on observation reports, different articles and online sources this paper highlights the major and minor factors which are connected with globalization through culture. Technology as well as education is also helpful to eradicate stereotyped concepts present in any society or culture. The strategies, policies and planning for rural development specially concerned with Gram Panchyats, schools, higher educational institutes, industry and labor needs proper implementation and awareness of the people. Globalization is helping to increase the income level, to remove the rural urban disparity, rural to rural disparity, to bridge the gap between people and government, to remove mental barriers, to provide social protection, to provide equality to women in man dominated areas, innovative training programs for skill based jobs, proper training and auditable functioning of Gram Panchyats, financial freedom to women, credit assistance facility to farmers and to provide small business assistance to youth while study etc. Education and technology are the necessary part of development as also described by Kothari commission for education in year 1966. All the five yearly plans and cost effective technologies are bridging the gap between rural and urban India. As culture binds up the people to their roots but if we want to stand by the emerging world then our culture have to absorb and apply the technology as well as globally emerging trends to widen the mental blocks. When regional disparity occurs then culture changes but education and technology remains same. In this way culture is basic factor while considering development. As rural India have different perspectives than urban so a major objective of this paper in the ways of rural development is to understand the ground level basic cultural issues, to resolve them according to the situations present and to find the approaches to step up the rural India towards Globalized world and this is the need of the hour.
