Tips for your answer

1. Start with a sharp context (Intro)
Briefly highlight feminisation of agriculture (e.g., rising share of women farmers but low access to land, credit, insurance). Link this gap to the need for initiatives like Krishi Sakhi.
2. Structure the body in 2 clear parts
Role of initiative: Awareness, capacity building, insurance inclusion, behavioural change
Critical angle: Limitations (digital divide, land ownership issues, last-mile delivery)
3. End with a forward-looking conclusion
Suggest convergence (SHGs, NRLM), gender-sensitive policy design, and institutional support to ensure real empowerment—not just participation.
