From Badokhar Khurd & Tindwari blocks, four villages were selected randomly from each block and 20 Dairy farmers were selected from each village making the total sample size of 160 respondents. The study reveals that majority of respondents were from middle age group within the range of 34-54 years and were having low level education.

While education, land holding, occupation, annual income, social participation, training undergone and mass media utilization was positively significant with training need of dairy Farmers. Respondents perceived that distant location of veterinary health centers' was the most important constraints followed by lack of knowledge about balanced feeding.
