    A study on entrepreneurial behaviour of farmers in Raichur district of Karnataka was carried out during 2004-05. By following proportionate random sampling procedure 120 farmers were selected and data was collected by personal interview method. The important findings of the study were : majority (39.17%) of farmers had medium entrepreneurial behaviour. Among categories, majority (42.50%) of small farmers had low entrepreneurial behaviour, while 37.50 per cent of medium farmers and 42.50 per cent of big farmers had medium and high entrepreneurial behaviour, respectively. Majority of farmers (46.67%) belonged to middle age category, 21.66 per cent of farmers were educated upto primary school, majority (71.67%) of respondents were dependent only on agriculture. 50.83 per cent of farmers were in high income group, 40 per cent of farmers possessed low level of assets. Majority (55.83%) of farmers had low social participation, 44.17 per cent of farmers belonged to medium mass media participation category, while 42.50 per cent of farmers had low extension participation. Majority (37.50%) of farmers had medium level of aspiration, 40.83 per cent of respondents had medium level of adoption. A positive and significant relationship was observed between entrepreneurial behaviour of farmers and their personal, socio-economic and psychological characteristics such as education, land holding, annual income, social participation, mass media participation, extension participation, level of aspiration and adoption. A significant difference (Z value 4.26) was found between entrepreneurial behaviour of farmers in irrigated (Sindhanur) and dryland (Deodurg) areas. It was found that the most important components of entrepreneurial behaviour were information seeking behaviour, innovativeness, farm decision making, assistance of management service and achievement motivation.
