Abstract
The investigation was conducted to study the entrepreneurial
behaviour of trained and untrained dairy farmers in Dharwad and
Belgaum districts of Kamataka during 2005-06. Hundred trained dairy
farmers were selected from sample of 208 respondents by proportionate
random sampling and matching sample of 100 untrained dairy farmers
was selected randomly from same area to constitute the total sample size
of 200. Structured interview schedule was used to collect the information
through personal interview. Data was analysed by using frequency,
percentage, correlation co-efficient, multiple regression and Z-test.
Trained (58%) and untrained (49%) dairy farmers had medium and
low entrepreneurial behaviour, respectively. The socio-economic profile of
dairy farmers revealed that trained (68%) and untrained (66%) dairy
farmers belonged to middle age, educated from primary to college level
(100% & 79%, respectively), engaged in agriculture alongwith dairying
(85% & 91%, respectively), medium size of family (62% & 59%,
respectively), semi-medium size of landholding (54% & 37%, respectively),
medium annual income (47% & 51%, respectively), low and medium
experience in dairying (81% & 68%, respectively), high and medium
economic motivation (64% & 53%, respectively) and medium market
