This survey was conducted with selected respondents in Maharashtra by PAN India and in Kerala by Thanal.

This survey sheds light on the work hours of Indian farmers. Out of 1,409 respondents, 20% (282 farmers) work more than 50 hours per week, showing the demanding nature of agriculture in the country.

Around 11% (156 respondents) reported working between 40 to 50 hours, while 7% (94 respondents) work between 30 to 40 hours weekly.

Meanwhile, 14% (192 individuals) indicated they work 10 to 20 hours, and 9% (129 farmers) work less than 10 hours.

A significant portion of respondents, 39% (552 farmers), did not provide information regarding their weekly working hours.

These figures reveal the considerable time investment required in Indian agriculture, especially for those working more than 50 hours.

The data presented in this survey does not reflect nationwide statistics but rather findings specific to the locations where the study was conducted by CPAM partners. Results should be interpreted within the context of these particular areas and may not be representative of broader national trends.
