Abstract
The perceptional attitude of men and women dairy farmers on dairying was tested by using
interview schedule consisting series of 16 questions‘ For each problem perceived, the ‘Z’ values were
calculated and compared according to their actual representation in the total sample selected. The
difference in the intensity of the problems as perceived by the two categories of dairy farmers was
indicated as Gender disparity index which ranged from 1.39 to 80.35. The Gender disparity was very
high for two important problems like lack of training facilities to rural women on dairying (80.35) and
irregular and untimely payment for milk by procuring agencies (72.33) The Gender disparity was high
with the problems like high input cost (38.2) location problems (54.09), shortage of services, lack of
motivation to adopt the advanced technique (35.18). These problems need to attended by all the
Government, non~government organizations and others involved in rural livestock development through
combined efforts and strategic planning. The co-operative societies should also extend their services
through formation of more women co-operative societies.
