    This study was conducted during 2005-06 in Belgaum district of North Karnataka to assess the organizational climate perception by VOs and VLIs of Karnataka State Department of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Service (Ah & VS) Organizational climate perception was measured by using a scale, which consisted of 28 items representing seven dimensions of organizational climate viz.., communication, decision making, programme planning and implementation, supervision and guidance, organizational structure and personnel management. The VOs and VLIs were selected in proportion to their number in the field to form a sample of 100. The data were collected by using personal interview. The collected data were analyzed using frequencies and percentages, t-test and simple correlation. Majority of VOs (55%) and 45.0 percent of VLIs perceived the organizational climate as favorable. Whereas, the most favorable perception was observed with only 15.0 percent VLIs and 34.0 percent VOs. On the country, less favorable perception was noticed with more number of VLIs (40%) as compared to VOs (11%). Further, there existed a significant difference between means of organizational climate perception of VOs and VLIs. Age, job experience, job involvement and job satisfaction had positive and significant association with organizational climate perception of Department of AH & VS by both VOs and VLIs whereas, job stress had a negative and significant relationship with organizational climate perception. The variables such as information seeking behavior, perceived work load and availability of facilities and resources had shown non significant relationship in case of VOs while, education, training and perceived work load had a non-significant relationship with the level of organizational climate perception of VLIs Provide adequate facilities, implement appropriate promotion scheme, increase the salary and salary increments were major suggestions expressed by both VOs and VLIs to improve the organizational climate of the department. In addition, VOs have suggested to fill the vacancies and introduce the appropriate trainings to upgrade the knowledge and skill to improve the organizational climate.
