The study was conducted in four villages - Chanduri, Komaipet, Kommuguda and Mathadiguda villages in Adilabad district, in Telangana state in India. A stratified sample of 30 households was selected from these villages with an equal proportion of small, medium and large landowning households in consultation with Panchayat (Local Government) functionaries. In each household two respondents were selected - an economically active male and an economically active female in the age of 18-64 years. In practice, the respondents selected were the head of the household and the spouse (husband wife pairs) within each household. After allowing for attrition of households between rounds of data collection, data for the study was study was collected from 64 individuals in 32 households, over three non-consecutive weeks between August 2019 and August 2020 corresponding to three agricultural seasons when sowing/weeding, harvesting and fertilizer application activities were carried out The data collected included information on socio-demographic characteristics of the household and the respondent individuals, anthropometric measures, recall based 24-hour time use and food intake data and physical activity (energy expenditure) obtained through the worn accelerometers. The STATA code for reproducing the results presented in the manuscript " Women’s greater participation in agriculture: Implications for energy expenditure, time use and nutrition from a case study in Telangana, India" under review in the Journal of Development Studies are available from authors on request.
