Abstract
The present study was conducted in Ramanagara District of Karnataka State during 2019-20 by selecting 180 respondents from 12 women dairy cooperative societies. The findings revealed that majority of the respondents belonged to middle (63.89%) age, married (91.11%), joint (54.44%) family, small family (50.00%), marginal (58.89%) land holding and practiced dairy along with agriculture as occupation (70.56%). While majority belonged to medium category with respect to, education (31.11%), experience in dairy farming (45.00%), annual income (48.88%), extension participation (61.66%), cosmopoliteness (52.22%), market orientation (65.00%) and deferred gratification (80.56%). Whereas with respect to milch animal possession (61.11%), organisational participation (82.22%) and scientific orientation (43.88%), majority belonged to low range. Majority of the respondents had medium (52.22%) entrepreneurial behaviour, good (45.56%) perception and medium (58.89%) performance. Independent variables such as age, education, experience in dairy farming, annual income, cosmopoliteness and scientific orientation had significant relationship with entrepreneurial behaviour, perception and performance. Whereas milch animal possession, extension participation and deferred gratification had significant relationship with entrepreneurial behaviour and perception. Further, occupation and market orientation had significant relationship with entrepreneurial behaviour and performance. While, family type, land holding and organisational participation had significant relationship with perception and performance. Family size had significant relationship with performance. Non remunerative price for milk, high price of feed and concentrate are the major constraints expressed by the respondents. Milk prices shall be revised at regular intervals and ensure remunerative price for milk were the important suggestions.
